The league table is allowed to rest as Patriotas Boyacá and Santa Fe battle for Copa Betplay honors in this first 3rd Round leg of two fixtures.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Primera A game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Deportivo Cali. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Patriotas Boyacá form and stats
Last season, Patriotas's Copa Betplay journey ended in the group stage.Patriotas Boyacá's struggle is real here at Estadio de La Independencia with only 5 points collected from 7 Primera A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-5-2. All in all it has been a very rough period for Patriotas who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 17 attempts. Their previous win was against Deportivo Pasto, 369 days ago. Patriotas are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio de La Independencia with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Deportivo Pasto match.
In their previous game, the manager N. Gómez Ospina led his Patriotas to a defeat in the Primera A match away at Millonarios. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio de La Independencia. In the match before that, Patriotas hosted Deportivo Pasto and drew the Primera A game 1-1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Atletico Nacional are coming to town in three days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Patriotas Boyacá means that they have only scored 3 goals in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match. From these home matches, Patriotas have conceded only 6 goals.
Santa Fe form and stats
Santa Fe's mission in Copa Betplay last season failed in the 8th finals.As the visiting team in Primera A matches, Santa Fe have produced an overall stat of 3-3-2 so far.
There might be some fixture complaints from Santa as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Primera A match against Deportivo Cali (2-3). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus La Equidad in the Primera A.
Santa Fe were so close to getting something from the game against Deportivo Cali, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal seven minutes into overtime.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Boyacá Chicó in just three days.
Santa have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Santa in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Patriotas Boyacá two wins, six draws and Santa Fe two victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
