Venue: Estadio Municipal Carlos Vidaurre García (18000 seats)

Unión Comercio are itching to improve their points total at their own stadium in the upcoming fixture versus Sport Boys.

Insights:
  • Unión Comercio have the most conceded goals (40) in Primera Division
  • Sport Boys have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Sport Boys have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-1-5 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sport Boys have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
