General Díaz form and stats

General Díaz's results here at Estadio General Adrián Jara in the Division 1 have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for General who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against River Plate, 76 days ago. It's been an uphill battle for General in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Sol de America game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

General are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus 12 de Octubre. Preceding that match was the home game against Sportivo San Lorenzo that was lost 0-1.

General have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the General defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
