Match sneak peek for Liga BetPlay: Atlético Huila - Deportivo Pereira at Estadio Guillermo Plazas Alcid

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Colombia game only four days ago. That game, against Atletico Nacional, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Deportivo Pereira.

Atlético Huila form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Liga BetPlay this season. Atlético Huila have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Estadio Guillermo Plazas Alcid. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts.

R. Royero was the last player to score a league goal for Atlético Huila and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Atlético haven't scored in 271 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Atlético will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Liga BetPlay game against Alianza Petrolera (placed 6th). Ronaldo Royero, an attacker, was the declared top player for the team in that game, and was presented with a rating of 7.6 (out of 10). Royero hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Deportivo Cali (0-5).

Atlético has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Atlético with 19 goals conceded in these matches. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches. Atlético has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Deportivo Pereira form and stats

There's been little loot from Deportivo Pereira's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 9 away games in the Liga BetPlay. Deportivo Pereira only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. When Deportivo Pereira is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 5 of 6 matches. La Equidad, Deportivo Pasto, Rionegro Aguilas, Deportes Quindio, Patriotas Boyaca and Once Caldas is teams we like to compare Atlético Huila with. With three draws in a row for Deportivo Pereira the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

R. Navarro was the last player to score for the away team. Pereira haven't scored a league goal in the last 180 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Pereira goalkeeper Santiago Castano is eager to challenge this, with his 230 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Pereira lost away at Atletico Nacional (0-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Atletico Nacional was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A draw for Pereira before that, at their own venue hosting Jaguares de Cordoba (0-0).

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Pereira manager J. Artigas Carrica has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Atlético victories, one draw and three Deportivo Pereira wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
