Deportivo Cali form and stats

With 2 Liga BetPlay wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Deportivo Cali are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Cali lost their last game at Deportes Tolima after a 0-2 scoreline.

Low-scoring affair? In this club's last 20 league games, 17 have contained less than three goals (under 2.5).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Deportivo Cali as they are travelling to their away game against Deportivo Pereira in the Liga BetPlay. That match is four days after this one.
