Libertad form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio General Pablo Rojas as Libertad have scored 22 goals to get 22 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Division 1 are 6-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).

It's back home for Libertad, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating General Diaz away with the result 4-3. M. Espinoza, A. Oviedo, A. Bareiro and O. Cardozo found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Libertad won a home game hosting River Plate (3-1).

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The victory against General Diaz came after A. Oviedo's winning goal. The Libertad manager R. Díaz was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 69th minute.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (22 in 11 games), Libertad's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Libertad have conceded only 10 goals.
