Metropolitanos have less rest than Caracas in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Primera Division game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estadio Rafael Agustín Tovar. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Caracas have had more rest.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Metropolitanos form and stats
Metropolitanos, who have the most conceded goals (11) in Primera Division, have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Primera Division. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
A nice win for Metropolitanos last time playing, versus Gran Valencia. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-2 with J. Moreno and D. Pérez (3) scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Portuguesa.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? What a game it was for D. Pérez when beating Gran Valencia, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Metropolitanos as they are travelling to their away game against Zamora Futbol Club in the Primera Division. That match is four days after this one.
Metropolitanos can score goals in their home matches. After 3 league matches they have found the net 6 times. Metropolitanos have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Caracas form and stats
The seven points Caracas have gathered from their first three away trips in the Primera Division is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Having won their last three away games Caracas has no reason to fear anyone.
Caracas delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Deportivo Tachira in their previous match; a Primera Division game. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Monagas at their stadium, the result 2-1.
The schedule is very tough for Caracas now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at Aragua is waiting in only four days.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Caracas defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (0 goals in 3 games).
