Unión Magdalena form and stats

Only two Liga BetPlay home games for Unión Magdalena so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Magdalena are returning here after guesting Universitario Popayan in a Copa Colombia match and winning with a 1-0 scoreline.

0-0 away at Junior before that.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Unión Magdalena have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 12 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 4 and lost 3.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Unión Magdalena as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa Colombia match thankfully also at home. Universitario Popayan are visiting.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Unión Magdalena at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Boyacá Chicó form and stats

Boyacá delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Real Cartagena in their previous match; a Copa Colombia fixture.

Before that, Boyacá Chicó secured a home win against Deportivo Pereira with the score 3-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Boyacá Chicó playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 4 Boyacá Chicó wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Boyacá manager Gómez as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Real Cartagena.

Head 2 Head

Boyacá Chicó have avoided defeat in the last 4 matches (3-1-0) against Unión Magdalena.

The games between these clubs sometimes lean towards being "violent", having seen 2 red cards from the last four duels.
