Fénix form and stats

The schedule is very tough for Fénix now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Sudamericana game at El Nacional is waiting in only four days.

It's a day of discovery for Fénix as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Fénix have played one with the results W0-D0-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games Fénix has scored 0 goals and conceded 2 times.

Let's have a look at how Fénix performed last season in the Primera Division: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 2 victories, 5 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 17 and conceded 27 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 2 and lost 5 with 5/13 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - four - two (River Plate wins - draws - Fénix wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
