Deportivo Pereira form and stats
Pereira was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Copa Betplay.Deportivo Pereira's results here at Estadio Hernán Ramírez Villegas in the Primera A have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

With eight home Primera A games in a row without a win, the Pereira fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Jaguares de Cordoba game long ago, can be stopped today.
