After the first game it's Gran Valencia - Yaracuyanos 1-1 in points. Who will triumph in this second Primera Division game of the season?
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Gran Valencia form and stats
Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Gran Valencia, their manager B. Morales Duarte and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Gran Valencia drew their last game, 0-0 away at Carabobo (placed 10th). 1-1 away at Yaracuyanos before that.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gran Valencia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won zero times, drawn two and lost two.
Last season, Gran Valencia's league statistics were 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses, resulting in a 6th position in the Segunda Division. Over these ten matches they scored 10 goals and conceded 24. Playing at home last season Gran Valencia managed 1-0-4 (win-draw-lost) with 5 goals and 13 conceded.
Yaracuyanos form and stats
Yaracuyanos have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
There were no winners in Yaracuyanos's previous match, a Primera Division home game that ended 0-0 vs Atletico Venezuela (placed 9th). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Gran Valencia.
Yaracuyanos are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and one defeat. From a total of four matches.
Let's have a look at how Yaracuyanos performed last season in the Segunda Division: They landed a 2nd position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. In total they scored 18 and conceded 8 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 1 and lost 2 with 6/5 goals scored/conceded.
