Deportivo Petapa form and stats

Deportivo Petapa, who have the fewest points (0) away in Liga Nacional, have only collected 0 points from their away games after 0-0-8 (8 played). Deportivo Petapa have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 8 away matches played so far. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Deportivo Petapa have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Antigua GFC game. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Deportivo Petapa who have suffered through a eight match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.

The manager R. Loredo was unhappy after their last game, a Liga Nacional match played at their home ground Estadio Mario Camposeco. Deportivo Petapa suffered a 1-2 loss to Iztapa. A 1-6 defeat away at Municipal before that.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Deportivo Petapa's away games this season with only 3 goals from 8 matches. There are big problems for the Deportivo Petapa defense as they have conceded 28 goals in 8 away games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Deportivo Petapa - Xelajú 1-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Xelajú, 1 draw and 6 wins for Deportivo Petapa.
