Colón form and stats

The manager P. Lavallén is not happy with the away performances in the Superliga so far, as all 5 matches have been lost. Bitter travels for Colón as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Huracán match.

Colón are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Superliga against Estudiantes (placed 8th). Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Independiente del Valle's place.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Colón as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. The Colón manager P. Lavallén has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
