Independiente Medellín form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga BetPlay travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. A depressing four defeats in a row for Independiente Medellín in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Atletico Huila.

The supporters enjoyed Independiente's previous match versus Junior FC, a 1-0 win played at home. Hooray; their first win in the league after seven games not winning. Mosquera (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.64. Mosquera topped it up with a clean sheet.

A loss, in the Copa Sudamericana away at San Lorenzo, before that. Independiente Medellín are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Independiente Medellín are hosting Envigado in the Liga BetPlay only three days away.

The visiting Independiente have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 12 goals from 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Independiente Medellín's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
