It's still early in the Liga BetPlay season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the América de Cali - Santa Fe preview!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga BetPlay.
América de Cali form and stats
Two Liga BetPlay home games so far for América de Cali, who are yet to win here at Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero. Only 2 points so far. Two draws in a row at home now for América.
A good away victory last time out for América, who won 2-1 against Boyaca Chico (placed 19th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Atletico Bucaramanga that ended 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with América perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with América de Cali as a small favourite), we find eleven games. América de Cali has won three of these, drawn five and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for América de Cali as they are travelling to their away game against Atletico Nacional in the Liga BetPlay. That match is three days after this one.
Early season league goal statistics from América de Cali's 2 home games: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
Santa Fe form and stats
Santa Fe have six points from their first three away games in the Liga BetPlay, meaning two victories and a loss. The fact that Santa have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Santa Fe are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
390 minutes! That's how long the Santa goalkeeper Andres Leandro Castellanos Serrano and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Santa go into this game after a win, the home game against Atletico Bucaramanga that ended 2-0. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Jaguares de Córdoba.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Santa playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were two Santa Fe wins, four draws and five defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Santa Fe are hosting Independiente Medellin in the Liga BetPlay only three days away.
The visiting Santa have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 3 goals from 3 games. Santa are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (América wins - draws - Santa Fe wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
