Another interesting game in the Primera Division. Academia Puerto Cabello is in the 11th position after playing five matches. They welcome Atlético Venezuela who are placed 5th after six games.
It's no vacation for neither Academia Puerto Cabello nor Atlético Venezuela as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Academia Puerto Cabello form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Academia Puerto Cabello's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Complejo Deportivo Socialista.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Luis Alberto Teran Guzman not having conceded a league goal in 245 minutes.
The spoils were shared in Academia's previous game, also at home. Visiting Deportivo Lara travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Yaracuyanos in a game that was won 1-0.
Academia Puerto Cabello has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Atlético Venezuela form and stats
Things could have gone better for Atlético Venezuela in their Primera Division away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on H. Meléndez Sanchez, the Venezuela manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Venezuela won their last game, 2-0 versus Carabobo played at home. Prior to that match, the Venezuela manager H. Meléndez Sanchez faced defeat when travelling to Deportivo Lara and losing 0-4.
A quick return to home after this game, as Venezuela are hosting Yaracuyanos in the Primera Division only four days away.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Atlético Venezuela - Academia Puerto Cabello 2-2 entered in the official records. Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: one win for Academia Puerto Cabello, two draws and two wins for Atlético Venezuela. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
