Deportes Tolima have performed here at Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro this season with 6 wins from 9 Liga BetPlay matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Two home wins in a row for Deportes bring valid hopes of a third.

A good away victory last time out for Deportes Tolima, who won 4-1 against Alianza Petrolera. Midfielder Daniel Cataño was the best player on the team with a rating of 9.03 (out of ten) in that game. Cataño scored one goal, served one assist and hit five key passes.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Deportes Quindio in a game that was won 3-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Deportes's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won two matches, drawn four and lost zero.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Deportes as they have a new game in only three days, a Liga BetPlay match thankfully also at home. Millonarios are visiting.

Deportes are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. Deportes are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 9 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

América de Cali form and stats

As the visiting team in Liga BetPlay matches, América de Cali, who have the fewest conceded goals (12) in Liga BetPlay, have produced an overall stat of 4-4-1 so far.

América de Cali had fun at their own home (Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro) last time out, beating Millonarios 2-1. Adrián Ramos and Joao Rodríguez scored. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager J. Osorio Arbeláez when Joao Rodríguez scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute. Defender Marlon Torres was the best team player with a rating of 7.42. Torres hit one key pass and won 5 of 6 duels.

Prior to that result América de Cali won their away game at Deportivo Pereira. The scoreline was 5-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and América playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the América de Cali manager J. Osorio Arbeláez as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Alianza Petrolera.

It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. América are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 9 matches.
