It's a new Liga BetPlay campaign and Independiente Medellín are yearning to get on the pitch here at Estadio Atanasio Girardot. Cortuluá are guesting and this looks to be a riveting season kickoff.

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 Independiente Medellín and Cortuluá.

Independiente Medellín form and stats

The season before, Independiente Medellín's league statistics were 6 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses, resulting in 9th position in the Liga BetPlay. In these 18 matches they scored 17 goals and conceded 15. Appearing as the home side in the previous season Independiente Medellín delivered 3-6-0 (win-draw-lost) with 10 goals and 7 conceded.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Independiente Medellín have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn four and lost two.

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

Cortuluá form and stats

Let's have a look at how Cortuluá performed last season in the Liga BetPlay: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 16 and conceded 12 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 1 and lost 3 with 9/9 goals scored/conceded.

Cortuluá are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and eight defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

A new game in only four days for Cortuluá, the Liga BetPlay home match versus Patriotas Boyaca. Busy days.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the previous ten meetings featuring these two contenders are: seven wins for Independiente Medellín, one draw and two wins for Cortuluá. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
