Independiente Juniors form and stats

This stadium, Estadio Municipal La Cocha, has been a fortress for Independiente Juniors in the Primera B so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-0-1. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estadio Municipal La Cocha.

The home team returns to Estadio Municipal La Cocha after sharing the points with Duros del Balón (placed 5th) on their last time out; the Primera B game ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Independiente Juniors won a home game hosting LDU Portoviejo (2-1).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Independiente Juniors as they have a new game in only three days, a Primera B match thankfully also at home. Puerto Quito are visiting.

The Independiente Juniors fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. Independiente Juniors have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals.

A new game in only three days for Gualaceo, the Primera B home match versus Clan Juvenil. Busy days.
