Rentistas form and stats

As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, Rentistas have produced an overall stat of 0-1-4 so far. Recent form does not give Rentistas much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Cerro Largo will be a tough nut to crack.

Rentistas aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 384 league minutes without a goal. Buschiazzo was the last player to find the net.

Rentistas might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. River Plate proved too strong as Rentistas slumped to a 0-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Complejo Deportivo Rentistas. Rentistas lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Boston River's place.

After this away game Rentistas return home for a Primera Division game against Fénix. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Rentistas manager Moreno has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.
