Here's what we know about the Monagas - LALA match:

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting LALA have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-12-22 (win-draw-loss) from 44 matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as LALA have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Monagas form and stats

The story so far in the Primera Division for Monagas, who have the fewest conceded goals (12) in Primera Division, at their home stadium (Estadio Monumental de Maturín) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats. Monagas have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

In their previous game, the manager J. Ferreira led his Monagas to a defeat in the Primera Division match away at UCV. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Monumental de Maturín.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Mineros de Guayana that ended 1-1.

A decent goal production from Monagas in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. Monagas are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Monumental de Maturín in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 7 matches.

LALA form and stats

There's been little loot from LALA's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Primera Division. LALA only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for LALA who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Caracas was the last time a defeat was avoided.

A. Maita was the last player to score for the away team. LALA haven't scored a league goal in the last 204 minutes.

LALA might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Caracas proved too strong as LALA slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Peninsular Pedro Conde.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Metropolitanos's place.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. LALA have conceded 12 goals in these games.
