Competition: Venezuela Primera Division
Date: Sun 20.October
Match begins: 22:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio José Pachencho Romero (40800 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Zulia are in the 9th position while the guests worry at 18th.

The hosts Zulia saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Copa Venezuela. Thankfully the previous game, versus Deportivo Lara, was also a home game here at Estadio José Pachencho Romero. The away team is better rested. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Deportivo Lara.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting LALA have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-13-16 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.

Zulia form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera Division, Zulia have managed 4 wins, 0 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 7 games. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Zulia, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Deportivo Lara in the Copa Venezuela last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that, Zulia played out a Primera Division draw 0-0 when visiting Portuguesa.

A decent goal production from Zulia in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. Zulia have conceded 11 from these games.
