Alianza Petrolera must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Liga BetPlay games here at Estadio Daniel Villa Zapata.
Alianza Petrolera's last game was hosting Deportivo Pasto (placed 13th) and winning 3-1. Sweet to taste a league win after three games without. Alianza Petrolera goalkeeper Chunga did an outstanding job against Deportivo Pasto with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. Acosta (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.11/10. Acosta scored one goal, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 21 successful passes (of 26 total).
Preceding that game was the away draw at La Equidad that finished 1-1.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 Alianza Petrolera have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.
There will be little rest for Petrolera after this match as they are travelling to Bogota for a Copa Colombia game in only four days.
