Cuniburo scores only 0.67 goals away from home with an xG of 0.72, averaging 4.57 shots and just 2.14 on target, which significantly limits their chances of scoring. Deportivo Cuenca Juniors have also kept a clean sheet in 40% of their matches this season and have not conceded a single goal in their last five games.
