Lara are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Zamora Futbol Club. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Deportivo Tachira.
The defeat against Zamora Futbol Club was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by D. Matheus).

Three consecutive losses in away matches means Gran Valencia are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Valencia play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Monagas (placed 4th). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Mineros de Guayana.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Valencia's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Valencia have conceded 6 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
