Monagas form and stats
Perfect Primera Division season at home so far for Monagas 3 wins from 3 appearances. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as Monagas have lost seven games in a row. Game days at Estadio Monumental de Maturín have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Monagas as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Prior to that, an away loss at Aragua.
The manager J. Ferreira will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Metropolitanos in only three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Monagas's attacking play is working. Monagas have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Gran Valencia form and stats
As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, Gran Valencia, who have the the worst goal difference (-6) in Primera Division, have produced an overall stat of 0-1-3 so far. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Gran Valencia have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Yaracuyanos game.
Gran Valencia are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Primera Division against Zamora Fútbol Club. A 2-4 defeat away at Metropolitanos before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Valencia are hosting Deportivo Tachira in the Primera Division only four days away.
Goals are few and far between in Valencia's away league games. Only 1 goal from 4 travels. Valencia have conceded 6 goals in these games.
