Season ticket holders at Estadio Centenario haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Cúcuta Deportivo languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Junior will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cúcuta and Junior.

Cúcuta Deportivo form and stats

With 1 Liga BetPlay win, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Cúcuta Deportivo, who have the fewest points (6) at home in Liga BetPlay, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Cúcuta's previous game was a Copa Colombia match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus La Equidad (placed 8th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Cúcuta lost 0-1 at Atletico Bucaramanga's place.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Cúcuta Deportivo here at Estadio Centenario in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 8 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cúcuta Deportivo defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Junior form and stats

Junior have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Liga BetPlay, after 1-5-2 (8 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Junior, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Plaza Colonia in the Copa Sudamericana last time out. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Millonarios in the Liga BetPlay.

A new game in only four days for Junior, the Copa Sudamericana home match versus Plaza Colonia. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Junior as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Junior are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Cúcuta three wins, two draws and Junior five victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
