Competition: Venezuela Primera Division
Date: Sun 20.October
Match begins: 23:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Brigido Iriarte (15000 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and 13th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Caracas have less rest than Portuguesa in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa Venezuela game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Estadio Brigido Iriarte. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Portuguesa have had more rest. That game was an away game at Yaracuy, so at least Caracas are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
