Once Caldas have claimed 15 of their 25 in total here in the safety of their own home. How will they do against Deportivo Cali?

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

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Libertadores. That game, against Always Ready, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Deportivo Cali.

Once Caldas form and stats

4 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Once Caldas have to build on here at Estadio Palogrande in the Liga BetPlay.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Caldas, as their goalkeeper Gerardo Amilcar Ortiz Zarza has completely shut out the opponents for 216 minutes in the Liga BetPlay.

An away draw last time out for Once Caldas, facing Atletico Nacional in a game that ended 0-0. Midfielder Rodríguez was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.32 (out of ten) in that game. Rodríguez had 34 successful passes (of 38 total).

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 Once Caldas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost five.

Once Caldas are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. From these home matches, Caldas have conceded only 5 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Deportivo Cali so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Deportivo Cali has drawn their two previous away games.

It's another away match for the visitors, as they travelled to Always Ready in their previous outing. The Copa Libertadores battle ended 2-2. Midfield player Velasco was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.43/10. Velasco scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 6 of 11 times.

The game before that, in the Liga BetPlay, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Rionegro Aguilas.

We have checked recent matches where Deportivo Cali have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were two victories, two draws and two defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Cali are hosting Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores only three days away.
