The Primera Division league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Metropolitanos and UCV are placed 6th and 5th respectively.
- Metropolitanos have the most conceded goals in the first half (5) in Primera Division
The hosts Metropolitanos saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Copa Sudamericana. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Aucas.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Metropolitanos form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Metropolitanos's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estadio Olímpico de la UCV.
The fans are hoping that Metropolitanos will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Copa Sudamericana game against Aucas.
Previous to that game, a Primera Division home match hosting Mineros de Guayana in a game that was won 3-0.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Metropolitanos as they are travelling to their away game against Melgar in the Copa Sudamericana. That match is four days after this one.
Early season league goal statistics from Metropolitanos's 2 home games: 4 goals, 3 conceded.
UCV form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Primera Division for UCV with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
UCV go into this game after a win, the home game against LALA that ended 2-0.
Before that, UCV travelled to Atletico Venezuela and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.UCV have the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
