Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Independiente Juniors languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting América de Quito will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Independiente Juniors form and stats
Independiente Juniors have played 7 Primera B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-4-1 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
L. Ortíz was the last player to score a league goal for Independiente Juniors and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Independiente Juniors haven't scored in 180 minutes.
Independiente faced defeat in their previous match, away at Gualaceo (0-1). In the match before that, Independiente hosted Puerto Quito and drew the game 0-0.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Fuerza Amarilla in only four days.
Independiente has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Independiente are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 7 matches.
América de Quito form and stats
There's been little loot from América de Quito's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Primera B. América de Quito, who have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Primera B, only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 0 draws.
The supporters enjoyed América de Quito's previous game versus Puerto Quito (placed 10th), a Primera B 3-0 win played at home.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Primera B trip to Chacaritas.
América are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
