Game week two of the Lpf season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Alianza - Tauro preview:
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Tauro have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 8-11-10 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Alianza form and stats
In their previous game, the manager C. Garcés led his Alianza to a defeat in the Lpf match away at Independiente. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez. Prior to that, an away loss at Atlético Chiriquí.
Last season, Alianza's league statistics were 4 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, resulting in a 8th position in the LPF. Over these 18 matches they scored 18 goals and conceded 25. Playing at home last season Alianza managed 1-4-4 (win-draw-lost) with 8 goals and 14 conceded.
Tauro form and stats
Tauro go into this game after a win, the home game against Árabe Unido that ended 2-1. Preceding that game was the away victory against Costa del Este with the score of 2-0.
Let's have a look at how Tauro performed last season in the LPF: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 6 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 18 and conceded 19 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 4 and lost 3 with 12/14 goals scored/conceded.
