Unión Magdalena form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Unión Magdalena so far with only 1 Primera A point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. With three draws in a row for Unión Magdalena the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

There were no winners in Unión Magdalena's previous match, a Primera A home game that ended 1-1 vs Rionegro Águilas (placed 9th). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Patriotas Boyacá.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Unión Magdalena playing away, we found four games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 4 home wins.

A new game in only four days for Unión Magdalena, the Primera A home match versus Envigado. Busy days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Unión Magdalena's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 7 matches.
