It's early days in the Segunda Division and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
UCV could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Segunda Division game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Dinamo Puerto La Cruz. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Dinamo Puerto La Cruz. There's been little rest and some travel, but UCV will do their best. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
