Iztapa form and stats

There's been little loot from Iztapa's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 11 away games in the Liga Nacional. Iztapa only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Iztapa have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 19 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Guastatoya game.

Iztapa play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-4 to Solola.

Before that, Iztapa secured a home win against Guastatoya with the score 4-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Iztapa in our archives, and the results are: one win for Iztapa, one draw and four defeats.

The Iztapa manager Alvarado has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
