Sport Boys form and stats

No Primera Division points yet away for Sport Boys, from their first 2 matches. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Boys are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Sport Boys are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the fixture against Carlos Stein (placed 12th). Midfield player Nieto was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.05/10. Nieto scored one goal and hit four key passes.

A 0-2 defeat away at Universidad San Martin before that.

Sport Boys are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, three draws and two defeats. From a total of nine matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Boys manager Manzo as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ayacucho.

It's early days yet, but Sport Boys has scored 1 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - five - one (César Vallejo wins - draws - Sport Boys wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
