The league table is allowed to rest as Atlético Bucaramanga and Alianza Petrolera battle for Copa Betplay honors in this first 3rd Round leg of two fixtures.
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.
1 - 0 - 3 with 3-9. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Alianza Petrolera when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Alianza Petrolera play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Atlético Bucaramanga form and stats
Last season their Copa Betplay adventure ended in the 8th finals.When playing at home in the Primera A, Atlético Bucaramanga have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games.
No payout for Bucaramanga in their previous match, an away game at La Equidad that ended in defeat 1-2. Before that, Bucaramanga had a Primera A home game versus Deportivo Pereira which ended with a victory 1-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Atlético Bucaramanga perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Atlético Bucaramanga as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Atlético Bucaramanga has won six of these, drawn three and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cucuta Deportivo are coming to town in four days.
Bucaramanga have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Bucaramanga have conceded only 6 goals.
Alianza Petrolera form and stats
Petrolera's mission in Copa Betplay last season failed in the group stage.There's been little loot from Alianza Petrolera's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Primera A. Alianza Petrolera only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. With the Petrolera losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Alianza Petrolera are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
The manager C. Torres Ramírez was unhappy after their last game, a Primera A match played at their home ground Estadio Daniel Villa Zapata. Petrolera suffered a 0-1 loss to Rionegro Águilas. A 1-3 defeat away at Deportes Tolima before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Petrolera in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Alianza Petrolera, four draws and one defeat.
The schedule is very tough for Alianza Petrolera now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera A game at Envigado is waiting in only three days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Petrolera have scored 10 goals in 7 league games away. The Petrolera manager C. Torres Ramírez has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.
