A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Villa Española fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Juventud's 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Española and Juventud.
Villa Española form and stats
1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Segunda Division numbers at home for Villa Española, who have the most scored goals (14) in Segunda Division, so far this season.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Rampla Juniors (1-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Española have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won two, drawn three and lost two.
The manager S. Santín Francia will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Racing in only three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Española's attacking play is working. Española are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Juventud form and stats
The Segunda Division season is young and Juventud, who have the fewest scored goals (1) away in Segunda Division, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Juventud are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Juventud played 1-1 against Rocha in their previous match. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Albion wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Juventud playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Juventud win, one draw and three defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Atenas in just four days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Juventud's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. As opposed to that, Juventud have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last three meetings: one - one - one (Española wins - draws - Juventud wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.Top Goalscorers
