The Atlético Venezuela & Deportivo Lara managers H. Meléndez Sanchez and L. González are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Primera Division league table.
Atlético Venezuela form and stats
Atlético Venezuela have collected seven points from their first three Primera Division games here at Estadio Olímpico de la UCV, a promising start.
Venezuela lost their last game at Estudiantes Mérida (placed 6th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Monagas.
A decent goal production from Venezuela in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. 3 goals have been conceded.
Deportivo Lara form and stats
Things could have gone better for Deportivo Lara in their Primera Division away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Two away games in a row for Deportivo Lara, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Zamora Fútbol Club in the Primera Division. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Deportivo Táchira.
Late heartbreak for Lara in the Zamora Fútbol Club match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
A new game in only three days for Lara, the Primera Division home match versus Gran Valencia. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lara as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Venezuela won two, Deportivo Lara won four and four draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
