The Caracas & Monagas managers N. Sanvicente Bethelmy and J. Ferreira are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Primera Division league table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Caracas and Monagas.
Caracas form and stats
Seven points from three Primera Division home games is a great start for Caracas, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estadio Rafael Agustín Tovar.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Cristhian Jesus Flores Ramirez not having conceded a league goal in 357 minutes.
Caracas are returning here after visiting Gran Valencia in a Primera Division game and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. E. Silva, R. Febres, A. Blanco and S. Guarirapa scored the goal(s). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Vasco da Gama (0-1).
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Caracas played a great game against Gran Valencia and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa Sudamericana game versus Vasco da Gama in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio Rafael Agustín Tovar.
Caracas always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Estadio Rafael Agustín Tovar with 10 goals in 3 league games. Caracas are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Rafael Agustín Tovar in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Monagas form and stats

A quick return to home after this game, as Monagas are hosting Aragua in the Primera Division only four days away.
