Colón form and stats

3-6-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for Colón so far this season.

Colón drew their last game, 1-1 away at Rosario Central (placed 6th). Meza was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.0 out of 10. The defender Meza scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 6 of 8 duels.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Estudiantes.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Colón have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 17 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 7 and lost 5.

Trouble hitting the net? In this club's last 10 league games, 8 have had zero, one or two goals.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Colón, as the Copa Argentina home game vs Lanus is only two days away.

Colón are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. On the other hand, Colón have conceded 12 goals.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Barracas Central.
