Junior FC form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Junior FC so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-7 (win-draw-lose).
Junior might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Millonarios proved too strong as Junior FC slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez. Junior FC were so close to getting something from the game against Millonarios, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Deportivo Pasto wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Junior FC in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Junior, 4 draws and 5 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Junior FC are hosting Millonarios in the Copa Colombia only three days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Junior FC as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. Junior have conceded 12 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
