Santa Fe get ready to welcome Patriotas Boyacá for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa Betplay 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.
It's no vacation for neither Santa Fe nor Patriotas Boyacá 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.
Santa Fe form and stats
Last season, Santa Fe's Copa Betplay journey ended in the 8th finals.Santa Fe have performed here at Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín this season with 5 wins from 8 Primera A matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0. The Santa fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín and will expect new points from this game. Santa Fe has played 18 games in a row here without a defeat.
Santa's previous game was a Primera A match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Boyacá Chicó. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a Copa Betplay win away at Patriotas Boyacá.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Santa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost three.
Santa are traveling soon after this match as the Primera A match at Deportivo Pasto awaits in three days.
Santa can score goals in their home matches. After 8 league matches they have found the net 17 times. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Santa have conceded only 7 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Patriotas Boyacá form and stats
Last season their Copa Betplay adventure ended in the group stage.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Patriotas Boyacá so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-6 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Patriotas have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 24 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Atletico Bucaramanga game.
C. Ramírez and J. Miranda scored in Patriotas's previous match, the home game against Atlético Nacional that ended 2-1. The game before that, in the Copa Betplay, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Santa Fe.
Patriotas are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, eight draws and six defeats. From a total of 15 matches.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Patriotas's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 8 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Patriotas Boyacá rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 13 goals from these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
