The Primera Division league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Zulia and LALA are placed 19th and 16th respectively.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
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 (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-12-17 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.
Zulia form and stats
The fans are hoping that Zulia will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Primera Division game against Caracas (placed 2nd). Prior to that, an away loss at Deportivo Lara.
Zulia were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Zulia matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).
LALA form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Primera Division ended in defeat. Last season LALA had these away match statistics: Played 9; won 2, drew 2 and lost 5.
The manager Ruben Ramon Yori was unhappy after their last game, a Primera Division match played at their home ground Estadio Peninsular Pedro Conde. LALA suffered a 1-2 loss to Deportivo La Guaira (placed 11th). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Estudiantes Merida's place.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and LALA playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, LALA has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Zulia-LALA H2H statistics last two meetings regardless of arena: Zulia zero wins, LALA one win, one draw. one of these two matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
