Estudiantes Mérida form and stats
Estudiantes Mérida have played three Primera Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Estudiantes Mérida travelled for their previous game, a trip to Caracas that ended 2-2. Perez was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Caracas after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
Preceding that fixture, a home defeat in the Copa Sudamericana against San Lorenzo.
The manager Navas will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Palestino in only four days.
Estudiantes Mérida have conceded 5 from these games.
Metropolitanos form and stats
No Primera Division points yet away for Metropolitanos, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Morr, the Metropolitanos manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The regulars enjoyed Metropolitanos's previous match versus Carabobo (placed 8th), a 1-0 win played at home.
The game before that was the Copa Libertadores-battle against Nacional, a home loss (1-2).
Metropolitanos have another fixture that requires travelling in just four days, a Copa Libertadores fixture vs Internacional. A grim diary for them!
In the opposite end, Metropolitanos have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
