Juventud form and stats

Juventud have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Segunda Division. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Juventud are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus La Luz.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Progreso that ended 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Juventud perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Juventud as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Juventud has won 2 of these, drawn 8 and lost 4.

Juventud have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Atenas form and stats

Things could have gone better for Atenas in their Segunda Division away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Atenas failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Villa Española that ended with defeat 2-3.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Miramar Misiones.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Atenas in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Atenas, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

Atenas are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Atenas are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
