Real Garcilaso form and stats

The Primera Division season is young and Real Garcilaso have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Home advantage was not enough for Garcilaso in their previous game, as they lost their Primera Division-match, hosting Carlos Manucci, 2-3. Midfielder Matías Abisab was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.2. Abisab hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 54 successful passes (of 63 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against UTC Cajamarca wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Real Garcilaso when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning zero games.

Garcilaso have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Real Garcilaso have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
