Peñarol form and stats
Last season, Peñarol's league results were 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss, resulting in 3rd spot in the Primera Division. During these 15 matches they scored 22 goals and let in 10. Playing as the home team in the former season Peñarol generated 5-3-0 (win-draw-lost) with 16 goals and 4 conceded.
Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 22 league matches, 17 have contained zero, one or two goals.
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Peñarol friendly games in pre-season: Peñarol played one friendly, won 1, drew 0 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Peñarol scored 4 goals and conceded 0 in these one game.
Fénix form and stats
