San Telmo vs Los Andes: match statistics

San Telmo are coming off a poor run, with just 1 win and 4 goals scored in their last 5 matches, but Los Andes have been even worse: they have failed to win any of their five games and have scored only 1 goal during that span.

The visitors’ away defence is solid, conceding an average of 0.75 goals per match and keeping a clean sheet in 50% of games, which significantly increases the likelihood of a low-scoring outcome and a draw. At the same time, Los Andes fail to score in 50% of their away matches, while San Telmo average 1.08 goals at home and keep clean sheets in 46% of games. The slight home advantage and the higher quality of chances created point towards a narrow San Telmo victory.

Seasonal data strongly supports BTTS - No: San Telmo has seen both teams score in only 21% of matches, while the figure for Los Andes is just 17%, compared with a league average of 40%. The hosts have kept a clean sheet in 64% of their games, while the visitors have done so in 50%, significantly increasing the chance that one side will fail to score. Los Andes’ current attacking form is particularly poor, with just 1 goal scored in their last 5 matches, averaging 0.2 per game. San Telmo have also scored only 0.8 goals per match recently, while the low percentages of games finishing over 2.5 goals—14% and 25%—point to a closed, low-scoring scenario. Although the latest xG stands at 1.29 for San Telmo and 1.48 for Los Andes, their actual finishing record and high clean-sheet rates provide stronger support for the outcome that at least one team will fail to score.

The seasonal profile of both teams strongly favors a low-scoring game: 93% of San Telmo’s matches and all Los Andes fixtures finished with fewer than 3.5 goals. The hosts average just 0.71 goals per game, while Los Andes average 0.83; moreover, the visitors have scored only 1 goal in their last five appearances, or 0.2 per match. San Telmo keep a clean sheet in 64% of their matches, while the Both Teams to Score rate is just 21% for the hosts and 17% for the visitors, limiting the likelihood of an open game. Although the average xG figures are 1.60 for San Telmo and 1.36 for Los Andes, low shot-conversion rates of 6% and 8%, respectively, together with the very rare occurrence of results above 3.5 goals, give a clear edge to the Under 3.5 goals option.

The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time and full-time, as San Telmo were level at the break in 9 of their 14 matches, or 64% of cases, while the hosts’ average first-half goal tally is just 0.21. Los Andes score an average of 0.50 goals in the opening 45 minutes, but San Telmo concede only 0.14 during this period and keep a clean sheet at half-time in 86% of matches. Both teams have also been highly ineffective in their last five outings: San Telmo average 0.8 goals per match and Los Andes just 0.2, with neither side scoring before the break in that period. The low-scoring potential is further supported by the seasonal full-match averages of 1.14 goals in San Telmo matches and 1.58 in Los Andes matches, as well as the low percentages of games in which both teams scored: 21% and 17%, respectively. The hosts have the higher xG, 1.60 compared with 1.36, but their 50% seasonal draw rate and both teams’ poor current form point more towards a cautious sharing of the points than a decisive result.
