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. With seven home Primera Division games in a row without a win, the Villa Española fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Deportivo Maldonado game long ago, can be stopped today.

For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches. When Española hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Boston River, Wanderers, Progreso, Deportivo Maldonado and Rentistas), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Liverpool form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. With the Liverpool losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Liverpool failed to get anything from their last game, a Primera Division home match vs Torque that ended with defeat 1-3.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Penarol wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Liverpool has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 15 goals from 8 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Liverpool struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 12 goals conceded from these games.
