Deportes Santa Cruz form and stats

There's been little loot from Deportes Santa Cruz's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 11 away games in the Primera B. Deportes Santa Cruz only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws.

The regulars enjoyed Deportes's previous match versus Deportes Iquique (placed 11th), a 1-0 win played at home.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Barnechea wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Deportes Santa Cruz are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

Highlight this: 9 of the last 11 league fixtures involving this side have seen only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deportes as they have only managed to score 6 times from 11 away games in the league. Deportes Santa Cruz's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
