Deportivo Táchira host UCV in Venezuela’s Primera Division on October 10, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 22:00 local time at the Estadio Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo in San Cristóbal. Táchira enter the fixture second in the league rankings, while UCV are eighth. The home side have the stronger season record and recently scored four against Deportivo La Guaira, but the visitors arrive unbeaten in their last five matches. Goals at both ends are a possibility: Táchira have scored freely in the Clausura, while UCV have found the net in five of their last six Clausura games.

Deportivo Táchira’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Deportivo Táchira have recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat across their last five matches. In that stretch, they have averaged 2.6 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per game. Their 4-2 away victory over Deportivo La Guaira on September 20 showed their attacking potential, and the source match account also records a goal against Puerto Cabello in another recent outing. Across 11 Clausura rounds, Táchira have scored 24 goals.

Their broader Primera Division record stands at 16 wins, seven draws and six defeats, with averages of 1.6 goals scored and 1.1 conceded. Those season-long defensive figures are lower than their average over the last five matches, a distinction worth noting ahead of a meeting with a UCV side that has regularly found a way to score in the Clausura.

Táchira’s half-time results have been particularly consistent. They have not been behind at the interval in 20 of their last 21 home matches, as well as 37 of their last 40 matches overall and 33 of their last 36 in the Primera Division. That record gives the hosts a strong recent pattern in the opening half, although it does not by itself tell us how many goals this match will produce.

UCV’s Recent Form and Key Stats

UCV travel to San Cristóbal without a defeat in their last five matches, having collected two wins and three draws. They have averaged 1.0 goal scored and just 0.4 conceded per game during that run. Their latest stated result was a 1-1 draw with Carabobo on September 19. The source account also cites a 4-1 win over Rayo Zuliano and a 2-0 victory against Deportivo La Guaira, illustrating that UCV have had matches in which they converted their chances effectively.

For the Primera Division season as a whole, UCV have 12 wins, eight draws and 10 defeats. Their averages of 1.5 goals scored and 1.3 conceded provide a different view from their tighter defensive results in the last five games. In Clausura play, they have failed to score in only one of their last six matches, an important counterpoint to Táchira’s status as the higher-ranked side.

UCV’s interval record is less convincing than their recent unbeaten sequence might suggest: they have not been ahead at half-time in 26 of their last 27 matches, including 23 of their last 24 Primera Division fixtures. Their recent results show they have still been able to avoid defeat, but an early lead has seldom been part of that pattern.

Deportivo Táchira vs UCV Match Analysis

The season records and league rankings favour Deportivo Táchira, and their recent scoring average underlines the threat they pose at home. UCV, however, bring an unbeaten five-match run and a Clausura scoring record that makes them difficult to dismiss as an attacking side. Táchira’s average of 1.6 goals conceded across their last five games also leaves room for the visitors to make an impact, even if the hosts have the stronger overall numbers.

The latest head-to-head meeting ended 1-1 on April 19, 2026. Across the supplied five-match head-to-head summary, Táchira have three wins, one draw and one defeat, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 0.6 conceded. That history supports the home side’s advantage, but the most recent meeting also shows that UCV have scored against them. With Táchira’s Clausura goal tally and UCV’s record of scoring in five of six Clausura matches, whether both sides can turn their opportunities into goals is a central question for this Primera Division preview.
