It's a new Liga Pro campaign and Barcelona are eager to get started here at Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo. Técnico Universitario are coming to visit and this should be a thrilling season kickoff.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Copa Libertadores match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sporting Cristal.

Barcelona form and stats

Stress levels are on the rise for Barcelona's attacking players as they have now played 224 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Corozo (own goal) was their last goal scorer.

Barcelona are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found four matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won three, drew one and lost zero.

Last season, Barcelona's league statistics were 17 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 2nd position in the Liga Pro. Over these 30 matches they scored 56 goals and conceded 38. Playing at home last season Barcelona managed 10-1-4 (win-draw-lost) with 34 goals and 17 conceded.

Técnico Universitario form and stats

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Técnico Universitario played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.

In total they scored 40 and conceded 60 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 2 and lost 9 with 19/30 goals scored/conceded.
