Zulia form and stats

No Primera Division points yet away for Zulia, from their first 2 matches. Bitter travels for Zulia as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Mineros de Guayana.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Zulia, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Metropolitanos. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Trujillanos.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Zulia manager F. Stifano as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Caracas.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Zulia has managed 0 goals and let in 5 from 2 matches.
