Crucial face-off in the cellar of the Liga De Futbol Prof, with both Santa Cruz and Royal Pari enduring more tension than glee. This game is a real "six-pointer" with the hosts placed 14th and the guests in 11th place.
- Santa Cruz is in the worst form (0-1-5)
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Santa Cruz form and stats
Santa Cruz, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Liga De Futbol Prof, have collected 8 points from their Liga De Futbol Prof home games so far after 2-2-2. It's trouble wherever Santa Cruz are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
In their previous game, the manager Marinangeli led his Santa Cruz to a defeat away at Independiente Petrolero. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here.
Before that game, the home loss against Bolivar with the scoreline 1-2.This is expected to be a close game, with Santa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Santa Cruz as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Santa Cruz has won 4 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.
Lots of goals and action? Nobody knows the future, but we do know that 12 of the 15 latest league matches with this club has had three or more goals.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Santa Cruz as they are travelling to their away game against Universitario de Vinto in the Liga De Futbol Prof. That match is three days after this one.
Santa Cruz are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. On the other hand, Santa have conceded 7 goals.
Royal Pari form and stats
The visitors are W1-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Liga De Futbol Prof. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Canalis, the Royal Pari manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus The Strongest with 0-2 on the scoreboard.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Aurora wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Royal Pari playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 4 Royal Pari wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
Goal hungry football fans should note that 18 of this club's 24 most recent league rounds have ended with three goals or more.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Liga De Futbol Prof trip to Bolivar.
The attacking power of Royal Pari when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Royal have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Santa Cruz two wins, zero draws and Royal Pari two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less. The matches between these clubs have had a tendency to be a bit rough, having seen 3 red cards from the last four duels.
