La Luz form and stats

La Luz have collected 1 point from their Primera Division home games so far after 0-1-4. The Luz manager Martínez might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The La Luz regulars got no joy from their last match, also played here at Estadio Profesor Alberto Suppici: A 1-3 defeat against Racing (placed 9th).

1-1 away at Plaza Colonia before that.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how La Luz have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 6 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Luz are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as La Luz have allowed the opposition to score 14 goals here at Estadio Profesor Alberto Suppici.

Racing form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division. Racing has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

It's the second away game in a row for Racing, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus La Luz (placed 16th) last time out.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Wanderers.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by Racing in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Racing, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Racing has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 6 goals from 4 games. 5 goals have been conceded by Racing in these games.
