América de Cali form and stats
The Liga BetPlay stats playing at home this season for América de Cali are 5-3-2 (wins-draws-losses). When América de Cali hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Millonarios, Atletico Nacional, Junior, Envigado and Deportes Tolima), they have won 3 of 5 matches!
Mosquera was the last player to score a league goal for América and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as América de Cali haven't scored in 180 minutes.
No payout for América de Cali in their previous match, an away game at Rionegro Aguilas that ended in defeat 0-2. The first loss after collecting points in four league games. Hernandez (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 6.85/10. Hernandez hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
0-0 away at Union Magdalena before that.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 América de Cali have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.
It should be noted that a look at the 14 latest league games reveals that 12 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).
A decent goal production from América de Cali in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches.
Independiente Medellín form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Independiente Medellín so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose).
Independiente are looking to quickly end their 180 minutes long goal drought in the Liga BetPlay. 193 minutes! That's how long the Independiente Medellín goalkeeper Andres Felipe Mosquera Marmolejo and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Independiente Medellín's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Deportivo Pasto that finished 0-0. Hernández got a match rating of 7.72 in that game, top player of the team. Hernández hit five key passes and had 33 successful passes (of 37 total).
Before that, Independiente Medellín travelled to Deportivo Pasto and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.Independiente are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 4 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.
The schedule is very tough for Independiente Medellín now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga BetPlay game at Rionegro Aguilas is waiting in only four days.
The attacking power of Independiente when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Independiente Medellín struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 17 goals conceded from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
