Only a win will satisfy the Atlético Venezuela supporters in this Estadio Polideportivo Misael Delgado clash with Carabobo, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Primera Division table.
It's no vacation for neither Venezuela nor Carabobo 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.
Atlético Venezuela form and stats
Seven points from three Primera Division home games is a great start for Atlético Venezuela, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estadio Polideportivo Misael Delgado.
Venezuela faced defeat in their previous match, away at Deportivo Lara (0-4). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Mineros de Guayana in a game that was won 3-1.
Venezuela were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Venezuela as they are travelling to their away game against Academia Puerto Cabello in the Primera Division. That match is two days after this one.
The Atlético Venezuela fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Venezuela have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Carabobo form and stats
Carabobo are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Carabobo are desperate to end a 14-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Mineros de Guayana fixture.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Carabobo, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-4 versus Mineros de Guayana. A 0-2 loss hosting Deportivo La Guaira before that.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Mineros de Guayana was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Primera Division trip to Estudiantes Merida.
The attacking power of Carabobo when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Carabobo manager A. Franco López has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Carabobo - Atlético Venezuela 0-0. Last ten meetings between the teams: Venezuela won one, Carabobo won five and four draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
