Nueva Chicago form and stats

4 victories, 8 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Nueva Chicago have to build on here at Estadio República de Mataderos in the Primera B Nacional. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 15 attempts.

Nueva Chicago are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 315 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Bustamante). Nothing to worry about in defence for Chicago, as their goalkeeper Cesar Omar Taborda has completely shut out the opponents for 248 minutes in the Primera B Nacional.

Nueva Chicago drew their last game, 0-0 away at Alvarado (placed 32nd).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Estudiantes Río Cuarto.

Chicago have scored 14 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Nueva Chicago are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio República de Mataderos in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 16 matches.

Almagro form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera B Nacional travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats. Almagro seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Impressive finishing from Ferreyra secured the home win 1-0 against Alvarado in their previous game. That victory felt nice as this side had gone four league matches without winning.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Estudiantes Río Cuarto's place.

Lacking goals? 15 of this side's most recent 20 league fixtures have contained two goals or less.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 16 goals have been conceded by Almagro in these games.
