Patronato form and stats

The manager I. Delfino is not happy with the away performances in the Superliga so far, as all 5 matches have been lost. It's all red in the travel logs of Patronato, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

Patronato go into this game after a win, the home game against Sarmiento that ended 1-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Newell's Old Boys wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Patronato playing away, we found eleven games. Results were one away win, three draws and seven home wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Patronato as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. The Patronato manager I. Delfino has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's two Vélez Sarsfield victories, three draws and one Patronato win. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
