Alianza Petrolera form and stats
Alianza Petrolera have performed here at Estadio Daniel Villa Zapata this season with 4 wins from 7 Liga BetPlay matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Alianza Petrolera after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The club members hope that Petrolera will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Copa Colombia fixture against Jaguares de Cordoba.
Heartbreak before that as Alianza Petrolera lost 1-3 at Junior's place.This is expected to be a close game, with Alianza Petrolera perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Alianza Petrolera as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Alianza Petrolera has won three of these, drawn four and lost seven.
A decent goal production from Petrolera in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches.
Independiente Medellín form and stats
Independiente Medellín have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Liga BetPlay, after 1-1-5 (7 played).
It's another away fixture for the visitors, as they travelled to Guairena in their previous outing. The Copa Sudamericana fixture ended 3-3.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Envigado in the Liga BetPlay.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Independiente Medellín playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were four Independiente Medellín wins, two draws and four defeats.
A new game in only four days for Independiente Medellín, the Copa Sudamericana home match versus 9 de Octubre. Busy days.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Independiente Medellín's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
