The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Metropolitanos are in the 12th position while the guesting Portuguesa worry at 16th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Metropolitanos and Portuguesa.
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.
No payout for Metropolitanos in their previous match, an away game at Deportivo Táchira that ended in defeat 0-1. In the match before that, Metropolitanos hosted Aragua and drew the game 2-2.
There will be little rest for Metropolitanos after this match as they are travelling to Gran Valencia for a Primera Division game in only four days.
Metropolitanos can score goals in their home matches. After 3 league matches they have found the net 6 times. 4 goals have been conceded.
Portuguesa form and stats
No Primera Division points yet away for Portuguesa, from their first 3 matches. A depressing four defeats in a row for Portuguesa in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Monagas.
Y. Vásquez was the last player to score for the away team. Portuguesa haven't scored a league goal in the last 270 minutes.
There might be some fixture complaints from Portuguesa as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Primera Division match against Aragua (0-1). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Gran Valencia.
A new game in only three days for Portuguesa, the Primera Division home match versus Zamora Fútbol Club. Busy days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Portuguesa's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Portuguesa have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
