Both Deportivo Cali and Junior FC are itching for points in this match, despite the guesting team carrying a 10 point edge so far this season.

Insights:
  • Deportivo Cali have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Junior FC have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

It's quite the trip for Junior FC when visiting Cali as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.

It's no vacation for neither Deportivo Cali nor Junior FC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Deportivo Cali form and stats

Deportivo Cali have played 7 Liga BetPlay games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Deportivo Cali's previous match was a Copa Libertadores game also played at their own arena, finishing 2-0 vs Boca Juniors. The home team are looking to continue in that form.

Velasco signed up for two assists, hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 25 successful passes (of 29 total).

0-0 away at La Equidad before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Deportivo Cali perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cali as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Deportivo Cali has won five of these, drawn six and lost five.

The manager Ochoa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Corinthians in only four days.

9 goals have been conceded.

Junior FC form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Junior FC so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-6 (win-draw-lose). Junior FC has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It's another away fixture for the visitors, as they travelled to Unión Santa Fe in their previous outing. The Copa Sudamericana fixture ended 1-1.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Alianza Petrolera.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Junior FC in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Junior, four draws and six defeats.

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

The attacking power of Junior when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Junior FC have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
