Deportivo Táchira have traveled here for an interesting fight against the hosts Monagas. Prepare for the match with this Primera Division preview!
These teams have little in common geographically as Deportivo Táchira have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Monagas form and stats
As mentioned below, Monagas are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Primera Division games.
Monagas's last game was hosting Gran Valencia and winning 3-0. A 2-2 draw away before that, with Atletico Venezuela the opponent.
This is expected to be a close game, with Monagas perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Monagas as a small favourite), we find seven games. Monagas has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.
Goals decide football matches and Monagas are scoring many of them at home; 7 on target from 3 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Monagas have only let in 1 goal at home.
Deportivo Táchira form and stats
No Primera Division points yet away for Deportivo Táchira, from their first 2 matches. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Táchira are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The attacking players of Táchira have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Táchira, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Deportivo Lara. A loss against Zamora Fútbol Club was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Táchira playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were four Deportivo Táchira wins, three draws and seven defeats.
0 goals so far away for Deportivo Táchira, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
