Defensores de Belgrano form and stats

Defensores de Belgrano have collected 17 points from their Primera B Nacional home games so far after 4-5-4.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 228 minutes without scoring a league goal. E. Borrego was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager F. De la Riva led his Defensores de Belgrano to a defeat in the Primera B Nacional match away at All Boys. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Juan Pasquale.

Before that, Defensores played out a draw 0-0 when visiting San Telmo.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Defensores as they are travelling to their away game against Almagro in the Primera B Nacional. That match is four days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Defensores here at Estadio Juan Pasquale in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 13 games). Defensores have conceded 14 in these home matches.

Deportivo Santamarina form and stats

There's been little loot from Deportivo Santamarina's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 13 away games in the Primera B Nacional. Deportivo Santamarina only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. Deportivo Santamarina seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The attacking players of Deportivo Santamarina have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 441 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Primera B Nacional home defeat versus San Telmo with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Villa Dalmine wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Deportivo Santamarina manager H. Arzubialde as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against All Boys.

The attacking power of Deportivo Santamarina when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Santamarina have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
