Deportivo Maldonado form and stats

Deportivo Maldonado have played 3 Primera Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for Maldonado, as their goalkeeper Danilo Emanuel Lerda has completely shut out the opponents for 220 minutes in the Primera Division.

It's back home for Maldonado, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating River Plate away with the result 1-0. F. Castellanos found the net in that victory. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Penarol.

This is expected to be a close game, with Deportivo Maldonado perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Deportivo Maldonado as a small favourite), we find one game. Deportivo Maldonado has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost one.

Maldonado are traveling soon after this match as the Primera Division match at Plaza Colonia awaits in three days.

The Maldonado fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. On the other hand, Maldonado have conceded 3 goals.

Torque form and stats

It's gone fairly well in the Primera Division away games so far for Torque with six points collected from three matches.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 2-0 against Boston River in their previous game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Nacional wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Torque in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Torque, three draws and one defeat.

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

The travelling fans enjoy Torque's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. 3 goals have been conceded by Torque in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Maldonado, three draws and two wins for Torque. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
