Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Portuguesa languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Metropolitanos will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Portuguesa have less rest than Metropolitanos in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Primera Division game only four days ago. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Metropolitanos have had more rest.
Portuguesa form and stats
Portuguesa must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Primera Division games here. Three consecutive losses here is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
The Portuguesa fans got no joy from their last match, a Primera Division game also here: A 1-2 defeat against Aragua. In the game before, an away victory match versus Gran Valencia with a 1-0 scoreline.
The manager J. Parada Rigaud will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Zamora Futbol Club in only two days.
The Portuguesa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. From these home matches, Portuguesa have conceded only 2 goals.
Metropolitanos form and stats
It's not happening yet for Metropolitanos on their Primera Division travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Metropolitanos love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Metropolitanos might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Deportivo Tachira proved too strong as Metropolitanos slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Nacional Brígido Iriarte. Preceding that game was the away victory against Aragua with the score of 1-0.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Gran Valencia in just three days.
Metropolitanos are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). For Metropolitanos, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
