Villa Española form and stats

Villa Española's struggle is real here at Estadio Obdulio Varela with only 7 points collected from 8 Primera Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-3.

Española faced defeat in their previous match, away at Plaza Colonia (0-4). Española were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. The game against Plaza Colonia was basically lost in the first half (0-4) and the second half was more of a formality.

Preceding that match was the home game against Sud América that was lost 1-2.

The Española fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
