Atletico Marte form and stats

Let's have a look at how Atletico Marte performed last season in the Primera Division: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 7 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 22 and conceded 30 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 6 and lost 3 with 11/15 goals scored/conceded. The visitors settled for one point in their first Primera Division away game of the season. During their previous season 11 away games resulted in 1 win, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

Marte has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Once Municipal for a 1-1 draw.

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

Atletico Marte 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 3 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.

1 goal so far away for Atletico Marte, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head
