It's still early in the Primera A season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Cúcuta Deportivo - Deportivo Pasto preview!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Cúcuta Deportivo form and stats
Cúcuta Deportivo are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Primera A games here at Estadio General Santander.
A. Vuletich was the last player to score a league goal for Cúcuta Deportivo and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Cúcuta Deportivo haven't scored in 200 minutes.
Cúcuta Deportivo's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Alianza Petrolera (placed 8th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Deportivo Pereira.
Some supporters pointed their bitten nail fingers at A. Vuletich for missing a penalty kick versus Alianza Petrolera in the 45th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
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 Cúcuta Deportivo have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost three.
