Struggling Racing will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Plaza Colonia in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Racing form and stats
The story so far in the Primera Division for Racing, who have the most conceded goals (24) in Primera Division, at their home stadium (Estadio Osvaldo Roberto) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Racing has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager E. Favaro and the players. The Racing manager E. Favaro might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
In their previous game, the manager E. Favaro led his Racing to a defeat in the Primera Division match away at Danubio. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Osvaldo Roberto. Ahead of that match, Racing lost 0-1 at home to Boston River.
A decent goal production from Racing in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 6 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Racing defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
