The league table is allowed to rest as Valledupar and Atlético battle for Copa Betplay honors in this first 1st Round leg of two fixtures.
Atlético have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It's no vacation for neither Valledupar nor Atlético 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.
Valledupar form and stats
Valledupar was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Copa Betplay. Boca Juniors de Cali was too strong.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Valledupar's two home games in the Primera B so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estadio Armando Maestre Pavajeau.
Stress levels are on the rise for Valledupar's attacking players as they have now played 264 minutes without scoring in a league game. Gutierrez was their last goal scorer.
The Valledupar crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Leones FC here at Estadio Armando Maestre Pavajeau.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Atlético that finished 0-0.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 Valledupar have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won eight times, drawn four and lost five.
Valledupar has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
