Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Deportes Tolima & Atlético Nacional face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Betplay. All the pre-match information is available here!
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.
Deportes Tolima form and stats
Last season their Copa Betplay adventure ended in the semi-finals.Deportes Tolima have collected 1 point from their Primera A home games so far after 0-1-0.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Once Caldas in the Primera A last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that match was the home Primera A game against Junior that was lost 0-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Deportes Tolima perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Deportes Tolima as a small favourite), we find ten games. Deportes has won five of these, drawn three and lost two.
There will be little rest for Deportes Tolima after this match as they are travelling to Santa Fe for a Primera A game in only two days.
Early season league goal statistics from Deportes Tolima's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
Atlético Nacional form and stats
Last season their Copa Betplay adventure ended in the quarter-finals against Deportes Tolima.It could be a hat trick of victories away for Atlético, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Atlético go into this game after a win, the home game against Santa Fe that ended 2-0. A loss against America de Cali was the result prior to that, in a Primera A home game.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Atlético Nacional in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Atlético, five draws and six defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Atlético Nacional now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera A game at La Equidad is waiting in only two days.
