Central Cordoba SdE form and stats

The Superliga season is young and Central Cordoba SdE have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Central's last game was the home draw against Platense (2-2). The attacker Milton Giménez got a match rating of 8.4 in that game. Giménez scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes. It looked so good for Central vs Platense, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

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

We have checked recent matches where Central have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were two victories, six draws and two defeats.

Central are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Central have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
