Colón form and stats

Colón have played 12 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-6-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 221 minutes without scoring a league goal. Meza was the last player to find the net.

No payout for Colón in their previous match, an away game at River Plate that ended in defeat 0-2. Goltz was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.14 out of 10. The defender Goltz won 3 of 5 duels.

Ahead of that match, Colón lost 0-4 at home to Racing Club.

This is expected to be a close game, with Colón perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Colón as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Colón has won 5 of these, drawn 7 and lost 5.

Trench warfare? In this team's last 10 league games, 8 have produced zero, one or two goals.

Colón are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 12 games. On the other hand, Colón have conceded 16 goals. When Colón hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Huracan, Central Cordoba SdE, Instituto, Independiente, Tigre, Arsenal de Sarandi, Velez Sarsfield, Banfield and Unión Santa Fe), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Belgrano form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Superliga travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats. Bitter travels for Belgrano as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Gimnasia La Plata match.

The attacking players of Belgrano have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 194 minutes.

Belgrano's previous game was their home loss versus Barracas Central (0-2). Midfield player Longo was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.3/10. Longo had 70 successful passes (of 76 total).

Prior to that match, the Belgrano manager Farré faced defeat when travelling to Instituto and losing 0-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Belgrano playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Belgrano wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Low-scoring game? 12 of this side's most recent 13 league rounds have had two or less goals.

The attacking power of Belgrano when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Belgrano have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Colón-Belgrano H2H statistics last seven meetings regardless of arena: Colón one win, Belgrano three wins, three draws. one of these seven matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
