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.
Metropolitanos form and stats
Metropolitanos, who have the most conceded goals (11) in Primera Division, must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Primera Division games here at Estadio Olímpico de la UCV. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estadio Olímpico de la UCV.
Metropolitanos's last game was hosting Mineros de Guayana (placed 14th) and winning 3-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Zamora Fútbol Club.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Metropolitanos as they are travelling to their away game against Trujillanos in the Primera Division. That match is three days after this one.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Metropolitanos's attacking play is working. Metropolitanos have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Portuguesa form and stats
No Primera Division points yet away for Portuguesa, from their first 3 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Portuguesa's last three away games as they have all been lost.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Portuguesa, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Trujillanos (placed 8th). A draw for Portuguesa before that, at their own venue hosting Zulia (2-2).
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Portuguesa manager J. Parada Rigaud as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Carabobo.
Goals are few and far between in Portuguesa's away league games. Only 0 goals from 3 travels. In the opposite end, Portuguesa have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
