Firpo form and stats

The visitors are W1-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division. One point away has become something of a habit for Firpo who have played out draws in their last three away games.

The manager Escobar was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Estadio Sergio Torres Rivera. Firpo suffered a 0-1 loss to Chalatenango (placed 10th). That loss was their first after five consecutive league rounds winning points.

A 1-1 draw at CD Platense's stadium before that.

Firpo are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 8 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

Betting on few goals? 11 league fixtures in a row with this side have had less than three (under 2.5) goals.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Jocoro in just two days.

The attacking power of Firpo when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Firpo are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
