Getting closer to the top teams is the subject when these mid-table teams fight it out. Both are targeting to improve their league table standing, Santa Fe in 10th and Deportivo Pereira in 12th place.
- Santa Fe have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Deportivo Pereira have the fewest dropped points from leading position (6) in Liga BetPlay
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Santa Fe form and stats
The story so far in the Liga BetPlay for Santa Fe at their home stadium (Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín) is 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 230 minutes without scoring a league goal. Valencia was the last player to find the net.
Santa Fe lost their last game at Atletico Nacional after a 0-3 scoreline. Aja, defender, was given a rating of 7.44/10 in that game, top of the team. Aja won 5 of 8 duels.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Alianza Petrolera (0-1).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 Santa Fe have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 11 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Santa as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa Colombia match thankfully also at home. Deportivo Pereira are visiting.
A decent goal production from Santa Fe in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 10 league matches. Santa Fe have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Deportivo Pereira form and stats
There's been little loot from Deportivo Pereira's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Liga BetPlay. Deportivo Pereira only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.
Deportivo Pereira might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Union Magdalena proved too strong as Deportivo Pereira slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Hernán Ramírez Villegas. Late heartbreak for Pereira in the Union Magdalena match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Rodríguez, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.42. Rodríguez scored one goal.
A 1-1 draw at Atletico Bucaramanga's stadium before that.We have checked recent matches where Deportivo Pereira have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were 5 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats.
Both teams to score? This team's latest statistics suggest that, having finished 5 league matches in a row with one or more goals from each team.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Deportivo Pereira manager Mazo as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Santa Fe.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Pereira as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Deportivo Pereira have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H encounter ended Deportivo Pereira - Santa 2-2, earlier this season. Head-to-head data (for the preceeding ten meetings): Santa Fe won three games, five matches ended in a draw and Deportivo Pereira managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six.
