Fénix form and stats

Fénix's struggle is real here at Parque Capurro with only 6 points collected from 7 Primera Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-3. When Fénix hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Racing, Boston River, Torque, Danubio and Fénix), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

Fénix are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Cerro Largo. The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points in three league rounds. Heartbreak for Fénix in their last match as Cerro Largo's Brasil scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Before that, Fénix had a home game versus Liverpool which ended with a victory 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fénix have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 12 league games, 10 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

The lack of attacking qualities in Fénix means that they have only scored {3 goals} in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Fénix are not conceding a lot of goals here at Parque Capurro in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 7 matches.

Plaza Colonia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Plaza Colonia so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

211 minutes! That's how long the Colonia goalkeeper Kevin Emiliano Dawson Blanco and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Villalba scored in Plaza Colonia's previous match, the home game against Danubio that ended 1-0. That win was so vital for this club, after a painful sequence of 14 league games in a row not winning.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Nacional.

Plaza Colonia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 8 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 17 matches.

Fancy a bet on few goals? 5 league matches in a row with this club have had two goals or less.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Plaza Colonia, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
