América de Cali form and stats

América de Cali, who have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in Liga BetPlay, have collected 7 points from their Liga BetPlay home games so far after 1-4-0. América has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Junior defeat 52 days ago.

América travelled for their previous game, a trip to Once Caldas that ended 1-1. Before that match, a win away at Deportivo Cali.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier América matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, two draws and one defeat (from five games).

There will be little rest for América after this match as they are travelling to Alianza Petrolera for a Liga BetPlay game in only four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in América means that they have only scored 2 goals in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively América have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 5 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Independiente Medellín form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Independiente Medellín playing as the away team in the Liga BetPlay this season.

Independiente delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Deportivo Pasto (placed 11th) in their previous match; a Liga BetPlay game. Prior to that result Independiente Medellín won their away game at Rionegro Águilas. The scoreline was 2-0.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Independiente playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, one draw and two home wins.

A new game in only three days for Independiente, the Liga BetPlay home match versus Atletico Nacional. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Independiente as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for América de Cali, one draw and six wins for Independiente Medellín. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
