Club members at Estadio Olímpico de la UCV haven’t enjoyed many victories this season, with UCV decaying in the 16th position. The visiting Zulia will believe to shield their higher league spot in this one.
- UCV have the fewest scored goals (13) in Primera Division
- Zulia have scored more than double the goals of UCV.
It's no vacation for neither UCV nor Zulia 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.
UCV form and stats
When playing at home in the Primera Division, UCV have managed 3 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 12 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for UCV with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Aragua game, 31 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 257 minutes without scoring a league goal. Montero was the last player to find the net.
The UCV crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Zulia here at Estadio Olímpico de la UCV.
Before that game, the home loss against Monagas with the scoreline 0-2.This is expected to be a close game, with UCV perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with UCV as a small favourite), we find 10 games. UCV has won 2 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.
UCV have scored 8 league goals here from 12 matches, not a lot.
Zulia form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zulia so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-6 (win-draw-lose).
Zulia play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting UCV (placed 16th).
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Mineros de Guayana.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Zulia playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 Zulia wins, 5 draws and 0 defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Zulia as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league. Zulia struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 19 goals conceded from these games.
