Goal Statistics

Deportivo Riestra's defensive record is very strong, J. Benítez's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Primera División outings. An average PG rating of 1.0 for Vélez Sarsfield makes sense in this context.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Deportivo Riestra fans, as should a 10 Primera División matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
