Plaza Colonia form and stats

With 1 Primera Division win, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Plaza Colonia are certainly not brimming with confidence.

In their previous game, the manager Porley led his Plaza Colonia to a defeat away at Nacional. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Parque Cincuentenario Juan Gaspar Prandi.

Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Cerrito.

This is expected to be a close game, with Plaza Colonia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Plaza Colonia as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Plaza Colonia has won 6 of these, drawn 5 and lost 5.

Not much happening? Looking at this club's last 16 league games, 12 have seen zero, one or two goals.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Plaza Colonia here at Parque Cincuentenario Juan Gaspar Prandi in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 7 games). Colonia's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
