La Equidad will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 5 points behind Once Caldas.

La Equidad form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what La Equidad, who have the most scored goals (16) at home in Liga BetPlay, have to build on here at Estadio Metropolitano de Techo in the Liga BetPlay. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Equidad after consecutive victories at their own ground.
La Equidad lost their last game at Deportivo Cali (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Independiente Medellin in a game that was won 1-0.
The defeat against Deportivo Cali was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by C. Lizarazo).
This is expected to be a close game, with Equidad perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with La Equidad as a small favourite), we find six games. La Equidad has won two of these, drawn three and lost one.
Goals are plentiful at Estadio Metropolitano de Techo in the league this season as Equidad has scored 16 goals here in 6 home games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Equidad defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Once Caldas form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga BetPlay travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. Things are running smoothly for Caldas who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Santa Fe.
There were no winners in Caldas's previous match, a Liga BetPlay home game that ended 2-2 vs Deportivo Pereira (placed 14th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Alianza Petrolera that ended 1-1.
The match against Deportivo Pereira looked like a defeat for Once Caldas, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. M. García equalized in the 90th minute. As mentioned above, Caldas drew the match against Deportivo Pereira. Manager H. Bodhert Barrios brought on M. García to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Once Caldas playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Caldas wins, four draws and three defeats.
A new game in only four days for Caldas, the Liga BetPlay home match versus Cucuta Deportivo. Busy days.
Caldas are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 8 times in 5 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Caldas as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
