Atlético Nacional form and stats

Atlético Nacional have collected 16 points from their Liga BetPlay home games so far after 4-4-1. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Atlético Nacional after consecutive victories at their own ground.

A nice win for Atlético Nacional last time playing, versus America de Cali. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Ángel (2) scoring for the victors. Ángel, a striker, was the declared top performer for the side in that game, and was presented with a rating of 8.11 (out of 10). Ángel scored two goals and hit one key pass.

A 2-2 scoreline against Olimpia before that, played at their own home stadium in the Copa Libertadores.

Trench warfare? In this club's last 10 league matches, 8 have produced zero, one or two goals.

There will be little rest for Atlético after this match as they are travelling to Santa Fe for a Liga BetPlay game in only four days.

Atlético Nacional are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. Atlético are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Atanasio Girardot in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 9 matches.

Boyacá Chicó form and stats

There's been little loot from Boyacá Chicó's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Liga BetPlay. Boyacá Chicó only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.

Boyacá Chicó played 0-0 against Atletico Bucaramanga in their previous match. Goalkeeper Caicedo made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Atletico Bucaramanga. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Caicedo was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.44. The agile goalkeeper Caicedo topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that, Boyacá travelled to Once Caldas and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Lacking goals? 9 of this side's last 11 league fixtures have seen two goals or less.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Boyacá Chicó manager Gómez as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Union Magdalena.

As opposed to that, Boyacá Chicó have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
