Lpf prediction and preview: Árabe Unido modest favorites to beat Deportivo Universitario

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Árabe Unido form and stats

Overall Lpf stats at home this season for Árabe Unido are 2-3-1 (wins-draw-losses). Two home wins in a row for Árabe Unido bring valid hopes of a third.

The Árabe Unido supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Independiente in Lpf and win 1-0. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at San Francisco.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Árabe Unido have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.

The manager S. Guzmán will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Costa del Este in only three days.

Árabe Unido have scored 5 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. 6 goals have been conceded.

Deportivo Universitario form and stats

The visitors, who have the most conceded goals (23) in Lpf, are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Lpf. Three has not been a lucky number for Deportivo Universitario as they have been defeated three times in a row since the San Francisco match.

The manager L. Pipino was unhappy after their last game, a Lpf match played at their home ground Estadio Armando Dely Valdes. Deportivo Universitario suffered a 1-3 loss to Atletico Chiriqui (placed 6th). Prior to that match, the Deportivo Universitario manager L. Pipino faced defeat when travelling to Sporting San Miguelito and losing 1-2.

A huge disappointment for Deportivo Universitario in their last match (vs Atletico Chiriqui). Leading 1-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 1-3 defeat.

Deportivo Universitario are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of four matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Lpf trip to Alianza.

Deportivo Universitario are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). Deportivo Universitario have conceded 9 goals in these games.
