Cobán Imperial form and stats

Let's have a look at how Cobán Imperial performed last season in the Liga Nacional: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 5 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 22 and conceded 31 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 2 and lost 7 with 13/21 goals scored/conceded.

Until that defeat this side had won at least one point from seven league matches in a row.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Imperial playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 3 home wins.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Municipal victories, three draws and two Cobán Imperial wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
