Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Patronato & Colón face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Argentina. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Patronato form and stats
Last season their Copa Argentina adventure ended in the quarter-finals.In their previous game, the manager Sava led his Patronato to a defeat away at Sarmiento. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa. Patronato's goalkeeper Altamirano was extremely busy against Sarmiento, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Gimnasia La Plata (0-2).This is expected to be a close game, with Patronato perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Patronato as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Patronato has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 6.
Colón form and stats
Colón's mission in Copa Argentina last season failed in the 16th finals.Two away games in a row for Colón, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Lanus. Colón goalkeeper Burián was happy for a grand day at work versus Lanus, but even with managing eight saves the defeat could not be avoided.
A draw for Colón before that, at their own venue hosting Union Santa Fe (2-2).So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Colón playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Colón wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
After this away game Colón return home for a Superliga game against Huracan. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Patronato three wins, two draws and Colón one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
