Deportivo Pereira form and stats
Pereira's mission in Copa Betplay last season failed in the 8th finals.The visitors are W3-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Primera A. When we have look at the Copa Betplay statistics, we find 4W-0D-2L. This is both home and away.
Pereira are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Primera A against Atletico Nacional. Alejandro Piedrahita came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Atletico Nacional last time out, making the manager J. Artigas Carrica feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when Alejandro Piedrahita scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat Atletico Nacional. Midfielder Wilfrido De la Rosa was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.22. Rosa scored two goals.
It was a Primera A defeat before that one as the away game against Deportivo Cali wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Pereira have scored 6 goals in 6 league games away. It's not easy to score on Pereira as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
