AVS vs Santa Clara: match statistics
The match shapes up to be an evenly contested clash between two bottom-half teams. AVS presents very poor home form with only an 8% win rate and a massive 62% loss rate at home, scoring an average of just 0.77 goals per game. Santa Clara is equally unimpressive on the road, winning only 8% of their away fixtures, however, they hold a better average ball possession (48% vs 41%) and slightly higher xG (1.31 vs 1.23). Both teams have identical form over their last 5 games (1 point per game each) and similar efficiency metrics - Santa Clara fails to score less often (42% FTS vs 54% for AVS). Considering the weakness of both squads, Santa Clara's high away draw rate (42%), and the hosts' defensive struggles, sharing the points is the most probable scenario, although neither side can be ruled out for a win.
