Struggling Patriotas Boyacá will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Atlético Nacional in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
The hosts Patriotas saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Copa Colombia. This match was also played here at Estadio de La Independencia. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Atlético Nacional have had more rest.
Patriotas Boyacá form and stats
Patriotas Boyacá's results here at Estadio de La Independencia in the Liga BetPlay have been very modest with 0 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 15 attempts. With seven home Liga BetPlay games in a row without a win, the Patriotas Boyacá fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Cucuta Deportivo game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Patriotas Boyacá fans got no joy from their last match, a Copa Colombia game also here at Estadio de La Independencia: A 1-3 defeat against Santa Fe (placed 3rd). Heartbreak before that as Patriotas Boyacá lost 0-1 at Millonarios's place.
The manager N. Gómez Ospina will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Santa Fe in only three days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Patriotas means that they have only scored 3 goals in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Patriotas have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Atlético Nacional form and stats
The away team, who have the most scored goals (31) in Liga BetPlay, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the Liga BetPlay. Atlético has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
There were no winners in Atlético Nacional's previous match, a Liga BetPlay home game that ended 2-2 vs América de Cali (placed 6th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Rionegro Aguilas at their stadium, the result 3-2.
The match against América de Cali looked like a defeat for Atlético, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. B. Rovira equalized in the 90th minute.
A quick return to home after this game, as Atlético are hosting River Plate in the Copa Sudamericana only three days away.
Atlético have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 17 goals from 7 away matches. Atlético have conceded 11 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Patriotas Boyacá two wins, two draws and Atlético Nacional six victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
