A loss against Xelajú was the result prior to that, in a home game.We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Santa played away with similar odds. This revealed 4 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 1 time, 0 were draws and the home team won as expected 3 times.
