Real Cartagena get ready to welcome Tigres for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa Betplay 2nd Round leg 1 of 2.
It's no vacation for neither Cartagena nor Tigres as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Tigres have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Real Cartagena form and stats
Last season their Copa Betplay adventure ended in the group stage.When playing at home in the Primera B, Real Cartagena have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 4 games. It's trouble wherever Real Cartagena are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. With Real Cartagena having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager N. Bernal Cortes.
The Cartagena crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Orsomarso here at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in a Primera B match. A Primera B defeat was the result before that one, 1-5 away at Deportes Quindio.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Cartagena handle that role? We have found seven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are one win, four draws and two defeats.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cartagena as they are travelling to their away game against Real Santander in the Primera B. That match is two days after this one.
The lack of attacking qualities in Cartagena means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Real Cartagena's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Tigres form and stats
Tigres was sent out of Copa Betplay in the group stage last season.The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera B travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Tigres are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Deportes Quindio fixture.
D. Gómez was the last player to score for the away team. Tigres haven't scored a league goal in the last 268 minutes.
Tigres lost away at Universitario Popayan (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Cortulua in the Primera B.
We have checked recent matches where Tigres have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were three victories, six draws and five defeats.
Tigres has another fixture away, a Primera B game, against Barranquilla in just two days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Tigres's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. Tigres have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - four - one (Cartagena wins - draws - Tigres wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
