Deportivo La Guaira host Metropolitanos on October 25 as both sides begin the quadrangular stage of Venezuela’s Clausura. The match at Estadio Olímpico de la UCV brings together teams ranked second and third in the supplied Primera Division standings, but they arrive with contrasting recent records. La Guaira have won once in their last five matches, while Metropolitanos are unbeaten across the same span. A 3-0 cup win over Aragua has given the hosts a timely lift, though they face a side that finished top of the Clausura regular stage with 32 points from 13 rounds. This Deportivo La Guaira vs Metropolitanos preview looks at the form, goal trends and head-to-head record ahead of their meeting.

Deportivo La Guaira’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Deportivo La Guaira recorded one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five matches, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. That run makes their 3-0 victory over Aragua on October 21 particularly welcome as they enter the next stage of the Clausura. It was a convincing result after a difficult spell, although the upcoming test against Metropolitanos offers a different measure of whether La Guaira can build on it.

Across the supplied Primera Division season figures, La Guaira have 13 wins, 12 draws and seven defeats, with averages of 1.3 goals scored and 0.9 conceded per match. Those overall numbers are steadier than their recent five-game record. The task now is to carry the confidence of the Aragua result into a fixture against opponents who have been harder to beat lately.

The hosts’ home goal trends offer another point of interest. Their last 10 home matches have all featured over 1.5 total goals, and each of those games has had at least one goal before half-time. There has also been a goal after the break in every match in that 10-game home sequence. These are match-wide totals rather than goals scored by La Guaira alone, but they show that both halves have consistently produced a goal in their recent home fixtures.

Metropolitanos’ Recent Form and Key Stats

Metropolitanos finished the Clausura regular stage as leaders with 32 points, losing just once in 13 rounds and scoring 30 goals. Their broader Primera Division figures stand at 19 wins, eight draws and five defeats, alongside averages of 1.6 goals scored and 0.9 conceded. They also bring the stronger recent run into this match: three wins and two draws in their last five, with 2.6 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game on average.

Their most recent result in the supplied match data was a 1-1 draw against Academia Anzoátegui on October 22. They have also been eliminated from the Copa Venezuela by Anzoátegui on penalties. Despite that cup setback, their five-match unbeaten sequence gives them a solid platform as the quadrangular stage begins. Kavier Ortiz and Miku Fedor are among the Metropolitanos players mentioned ahead of the fixture.

Metropolitanos’ first-half results are especially notable. They have won at half-time in their last five Primera Division matches, including their last three away league games. They have not been behind at the interval in their last 15 away league matches, nor in their last 15 Primera Division games overall. Their fixtures have continued to produce goals later on, too: each of their last 15 matches has featured at least one second-half goal.

Deportivo La Guaira vs Metropolitanos Match Analysis

The teams’ latest head-to-head ended in a 2-1 Metropolitanos win on August 5. Both of their meetings in 2026 have featured goals from each side, according to the supplied match account. Across the five fixtures covered by the head-to-head summary, La Guaira have two wins, two draws and one defeat, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 1.2 conceded. That record gives the hosts grounds for encouragement even though the visitors arrive in better recent form.

There are competing signals in the goal data. La Guaira’s recent home games have regularly produced goals in both halves, while Metropolitanos have reached half-time ahead in each of their last five league matches. Yet the sides’ season-long averages for goals conceded are both 0.9 per game. Neither team’s overall record alone settles how open this meeting will be.

The opening half could be particularly important. La Guaira’s home fixtures have contained a first-half goal in 10 straight matches, and Metropolitanos have repeatedly taken leads into the break in Primera Division. The visitors’ strong recent results make them a demanding opponent, but La Guaira’s cup win and competitive head-to-head record give the hosts reasons to approach the match with confidence.
