Maldonado to add to Villa Espanola’s misery
2448

On Saturday afternoon, Villa Espanola host CD Maldonado at the Estadio Obdulio Varela, as the home team look to move off the bottom of the Uruguayan Primera Division table.

Villa Espanola are bottom of the table, after taking just three points from their last nine league outings. The home side’s return to the Uruguayan top-flight after a five-year absence is not going well so far.

Courtesy of their poor start to the new Uruguayan league campaign, they have now failed to win in 15 outings, dating back to their previous spell in the Primera Division back in 2016. It’s nine winless games for them this season though.

Keeping the opposition team out has been a big problem for Villa Espanola this season, as only Atletico Fenix have conceded more goals this season in the Primera Division.

At the other end of the pitch, only one team has scored fewer league goals than the team from the Uruguayan capital. Their campaign so far is a recipe for a quick return to the second tier.

Maldonado have struggled for consistency in the Uruguayan top-flight this season. They currently sit eighth place in a congested section of the table.

A 3-1 home defeat by Sud America last time out means that they have won just once in their last four league outings.

The visitors recent league games have offered consistency when it has come to goals, as four of their last five Primera Division matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Maldonado have been tough to beat on their travels in the Primera Division, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last ten away outings in the Uruguayan top-flight.

They have also scored at least two goals in four of their last six away matches in the Primera Division.

Forebet predicts that Maldonado will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to add to the home teams woes.
