Insights:
  • UCV have the fewest scored goals (17) in Primera Division
  • Metropolitanos have scored more than double the goals of UCV.

Relegation threatens UCV who should definitely be looking for some points here.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Little time to rest for the hosts, as they had a Primera Division match only three days back. That game was an away game at Deportivo La Guaira, so at least UCV are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
