Torque form and stats

Torque's results here at Estadio Centenario in the Primera Division have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

The regulars are hoping that Torque will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the game against Boston River (placed 5th).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Plaza Colonia.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Torque have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 5 and lost 1.

On the other hand, Torque have conceded 8 goals.
