Progreso form and stats

Progreso must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Segunda Division games here at Parque Abraham Paladino. Progreso has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Michetti and the players.

Progreso are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Atenas.

Ahead of that match, Progreso lost 2-4 at home to La Luz.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Progreso as they are travelling to their away game against Sud América in the Segunda Division. That match is four days after this one.

Progreso are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games.
