An important duel in the bottom section of the Liga BetPlay, with both Once Caldas and Boyacá Chicó experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 15th place.
- Once Caldas have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Boyacá Chicó have yet to win a game away.
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 Caldas and Boyacá Chicó.
Once Caldas form and stats
Once Caldas's struggle is real here at Estadio Palogrande with only 5 points collected from 6 Liga BetPlay games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
No payout for Once Caldas in their previous match, an away game at Santa Fe that ended in defeat 0-2. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus America de Cali.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at D. Lemos for missing a penalty kick versus Santa Fe in the 52nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
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 Caldas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won eight times, drawn one and lost three.
There will be little rest for Caldas after this match as they are travelling to Rionegro Aguilas for a Liga BetPlay game in only four days.
Once Caldas have scored 5 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. Once Caldas's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
