Deportivo Táchira will battle it out with Monagas in this Primera Division game. All you need to know about the match can be found here!
It's no vacation for neither Deportivo Táchira nor Monagas 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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Monagas have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Deportivo Táchira form and stats
Deportivo Táchira have collected 4 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 1-1-1. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Táchira are confident in defense, having played 271 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
The spoils were shared in Táchira's previous game, also at home. Visiting Gran Valencia travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that match, a win away at Portuguesa.
Táchira are traveling soon after this match as the Primera Division match at Metropolitanos awaits in three days.
Deportivo Táchira have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Táchira have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Monagas form and stats
Things could have gone better for Monagas in their Primera Division away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Monagas are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Monagas's previous game was their home loss versus Metropolitanos (1-2). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gran Valencia wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Monagas were so close to getting something from the game against Metropolitanos, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.
A quick return to home after this game, as Monagas are hosting Zamora Fútbol Club in the Primera Division only three days away.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Monagas have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. 3 goals have been conceded by Monagas in these games.
