The visiting Estudiantes Mérida side should be favourites in this visit to Yaracuyanos, as the away team holds a 4 point advantage from their six league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Yaracuyanos and Estudiantes Mérida.
Yaracuyanos form and stats
Yaracuyanos have collected 4 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 1-1-1. Yaracuyanos have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Deportivo La Guaira that ended 1-1.
There will be little rest for Yaracuyanos after this match as they are travelling to Academia Puerto Cabello for a Primera Division game in only three days.
Yaracuyanos aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Polideportivo Misael Delgado in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Yaracuyanos have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Estudiantes Mérida form and stats
The Primera Division season is young and Estudiantes Mérida have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Atletico Venezuela.
Drawing 2-2 against Academia Puerto Cabello after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager M. Brignani needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Trujillanos in just three days.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Estudiantes manager M. Brignani has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Estudiantes Mérida - Yaracuyanos 1-2 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Yaracuyanos won four games, three matches ended with a draw and Estudiantes Mérida has three wins.
