Santa Lucia form and stats

4-6-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga Nacional numbers at home for Santa Lucia so far this season. The home stadium (Estadio Municipal Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Santa Lucia it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Santa Lucia faced defeat in their previous match, away at Malacateco (1-2).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Comunicaciones (1-4).

The Santa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. 13 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
