The visiting Estudiantes Mérida side should be favourites in this visit to Carabobo, as the away team holds a 4 point advantage from their six league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Carabobo nor Estudiantes Mérida 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.
Carabobo form and stats
Carabobo have played three Primera Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. So many draws at home for Carabobo, an amazing five in a row now.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Atlético Venezuela in the Primera Division last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Mineros de Guayana that ended 2-2.
Carabobo has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 0 goals from 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Carabobo have only let in 0 goals at home.
Estudiantes Mérida form and stats
The Primera Division season is young and Estudiantes Mérida 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.
Estudiantes play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Racing Club. A 1-1 draw at Trujillanos's stadium before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Estudiantes Mérida are hosting Deportivo La Guaira in the Primera Division only two days away.
The attacking power of Estudiantes when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Estudiantes have conceded 7 goals in these games.
