This match features two teams living in the basement of the Segunda Division, Racing holding 10th place and Central Español lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Segunda Division. That game was an away game at Atenas, so at least Racing are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Racing form and stats
Racing, who have the most conceded goals (17) in Segunda Division, have played 5 Segunda Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
The fans are hoping that Racing will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Segunda Division game against Atenas (placed 11th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Villa Española (2-3).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Racing, as the Segunda Division home game vs Rampla Juniors is only three days away.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (11 in 5 games), Racing's attacking play is working. Racing are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (10 from 5 played).
Central Español form and stats
1-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Central Español in their Segunda Division matches away. Central Español seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Central delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Juventud (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Segunda Division game. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Villa Teresa's place.
The schedule is very tough for Central now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Segunda Division game at Cerrito is waiting in only three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Central as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. Central Español have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Racing, four draws and zero wins for Central Español. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
