Stadium regulars at Estadio Palogrande haven’t celebrated many home wins this season, with Once Caldas lying uncomfortably in the 17th spot. The opposing La Equidad will attempt to shield their higher league spot in this fixture.
- La Equidad have won significantly less corners away then at home.
It's no vacation for neither Once Caldas nor La Equidad 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.
Once Caldas form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Once Caldas have to build on here at Estadio Palogrande in the Liga BetPlay.
The Caldas manager Jaramillo and his pawns return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Union Magdalena. Mejía was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Union Magdalena after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Riquett, defender, was given a rating of 7.32/10 in that game, top of the team. Riquett served one assist, hit one key pass and won 4 of 5 duels.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Envigado.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 11 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.
The manager Jaramillo will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Alianza Petrolera in only three days.
Once Caldas are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 10 games. 11 goals have been conceded.
La Equidad form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for La Equidad so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 0-7-3 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Equidad's last three away games as they have all been lost.
La Equidad played 1-1 against Deportivo Cali in their previous match. Midfielder Lima was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.1. Lima scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that game, the 0-5 loss visiting Atletico Nacional's place.We have checked recent matches where La Equidad have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 17 games were 0 victories, 11 draws and 6 defeats.
Low on goals? 10 of this club's latest 11 league rounds have contained two or less goals.
A new game in only three days for Equidad, the Liga BetPlay home match versus Jaguares de Cordoba. Busy days.
The attacking power of La Equidad when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
