Form guide: Academia Puerto Cabello are in outstanding form, having won four of their last five matches (WDWWW) and sitting sixth in the Tabla Anual with 30 points from 19 games. They have been solid at both ends, averaging 1.57 goals scored and 1.14 conceded per game, with a positive goal difference of +9. Deportivo La Guaira, despite being second with 39 points and a superior goal difference of +17, have lost their last two matches (LWWWL) and look slightly out of sorts. Their season averages are misleading: the provided data shows 0 goals for and 2 against per game, but that likely reflects a recent sample; overall they have scored 31 and conceded 14 in 19 games. Still, their recent dip in form is a concern.
