Real Santander get ready to welcome Cortuluá for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa Betplay 1st Round leg 1 of 2.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Real Santander and Cortuluá.
Real Santander form and stats
Last season, Real Santander's Copa Betplay journey ended in the 8th finals.1-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera B numbers at home for Real Santander so far this season. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here.
A good away victory last time out for Real Santander, who won 3-0 against Atletico. Before that, Real Santander had a Primera B home game versus Cortuluá which ended with a victory 2-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Real Santander perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Real Santander as a small favourite), we find nine games. Real Santander has won four of these, drawn two and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Real Santander as they have a new game in only four days, a Primera B match thankfully also at home. Barranquilla are visiting.
Early season league goal statistics from Real Santander's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Cortuluá form and stats
They also participated in Copa Betplay last season. This ended in the group stage.Playing away, Cortuluá have won 0 games, drawn 0 and suffered 1 defeat in the Primera B this season. Cortuluá seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The supporters enjoyed Cortuluá's previous game versus Bogota, a Primera B 2-0 win played at home. It was a Primera B defeat before that one as the away game against Real Santander wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Cortuluá in our archives, and the results are: one win for Cortuluá, zero draws and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Cortuluá manager J. de la Pava Márquez as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Fortaleza CEIF.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Cortuluá has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Real Santander, two draws and six wins for Cortuluá. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Real Santander missing players
