Portuguesa battle against Aragua for glory and sporting success.
It's no vacation for neither Portuguesa nor Aragua as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Portuguesa form and stats
Portuguesa must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Primera Division games here at Estadio General José Antonio Páez. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Portuguesa, their manager J. Parada Rigaud and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Happy days for Portuguesa in their previous game, a Primera Division match away at Gran Valencia that ended with a 1-0 victory. Ahead of that match, Portuguesa lost 0-2 at home to Caracas.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Metropolitanos are coming to town in four days.
Portuguesa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. From these home matches, Portuguesa have conceded only 2 goals.
Aragua form and stats
Aragua are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
The attacking players of Aragua have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 249 minutes.
Aragua might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Metropolitanos proved too strong as Aragua slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Olímpico Hermanos Ghersi Páez. Prior to that match, the Aragua manager E. García Feijó faced defeat when travelling to Zamora Futbol Club and losing 0-2.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Aragua manager E. García Feijó as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Gran Valencia.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Aragua has managed 3 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Aragua - Portuguesa 1-0. Last ten meetings between the teams: Portuguesa won two, Aragua won six and two draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, nine matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
