It's early days in the Segunda Division and both Villa Española and Atenas are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Villa Española form and stats
Villa Española have only played one Segunda Division game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 11 matches.
It's back home for Española, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sud América away with the result 4-0. M. Ferreira, C. Tizón, S. López and L. Silva found the net in that victory. Preceding that game was the away draw at Rocha that finished 0-0.
As mentioned above, Villa Española "killed" Sud América in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Española are traveling soon after this match as the Segunda Division match at Central Espanol awaits in three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Villa Española's 1 home game: 3 goals, 2 conceded.
Atenas form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first Segunda Division away game of the season. During their previous season 11 away games resulted in 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
Atenas might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Rocha proved too strong as Atenas slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Atenas. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Albion.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Atenas manager D. Castellanos as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Sud América.
1 goal so far away for Atenas, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
