Villa Española form and stats

With 1 Primera Division win, 4 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Villa Española are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.

In their previous game, the manager J. Mozzo Valdéz led his Española to a defeat in the Primera Division match away at Rentistas. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Parque Alfredo Víctor Viera.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Wanderers that ended 2-2.

Española are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. 11 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Peñarol form and stats

The visitors are W2-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division.

F. Torres (2) scored in Peñarol's previous match, the home game against Torque that ended 3-1.

Prior to that match, the Peñarol manager J. Larriera Dibarboure faced defeat when travelling to Deportivo Maldonado and losing 0-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Peñarol as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far). It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Here's the final score when the teams played each other earlier this campaign; Peñarol - Española 1-1. Stats for the prior two meetings involving these two squads are: zero wins for Villa Española, one draw and one win for Peñarol. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
