Audax Italiano form and stats

As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, Audax Italiano have produced an overall stat of 0-3-1 so far. It's three draws from Audax Italiano's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Audax Italiano have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 211 minutes ago. Fernandez was the goal scorer.

Italiano failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Union Espanola (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 0-1.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Everton.

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.

5 goals have been conceded by Italiano in these games.
