It's still early in the Primera A season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Cucuta Deportivo - Deportivo Pasto preview!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa Sudamericana. That game was also an away game, at Huachipato. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Deportivo Pasto, who are travelling more than 1300 kilometers to play this game.
Cúcuta Deportivo form and stats
Two Liga BetPlay home games so far for Cúcuta Deportivo, who are yet to win here at Estadio General Santander. Only 1 point so far.
Cúcuta Deportivo are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 200 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by A. Vuletich).
Cúcuta Deportivo's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Alianza Petrolera (placed 3rd). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Deportivo Pereira.
Some supporters pointed their bitten nail fingers at A. Vuletich for missing a penalty kick versus Alianza Petrolera in the 45th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
At Estadio General Santander, Cúcuta Deportivo has the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Deportivo Pasto form and stats

Deportivo Pasto have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Luis Enrique Delgado Mantilla. It's been 180 minutes since they last conceded in Liga BetPlay.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Deportivo Pasto, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Huachipato. That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Atlético Bucaramanga in the Liga BetPlay.
Deportivo Pasto have the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
