Deportivo Lara form and stats

Deportivo Lara have played three Primera Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Lara to get some points in this home game.

Deportivo Lara are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 501 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Segovia).

Deportivo Lara's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Deportivo Tachira (placed 1st).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Deportivo Tachira.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lara have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won two, drawn six and lost two.

The lack of attacking qualities in Deportivo Lara means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match.

Portuguesa form and stats

Things could have gone better for Portuguesa in their Primera Division away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right. Portuguesa have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Portuguesa's last game was the home draw against UCV (0-0).

A 1-1 draw at Caracas's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Portuguesa in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Portuguesa, three draws and four defeats.

Portuguesa have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
