Independiente Medellín form and stats

3-0-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera A numbers at home for Independiente Medellín so far this season.

The home team returns to Estadio Atanasio Girardot after sharing the points with Atlético Bucaramanga (placed 16th) on their last time out; the Primera A game ended 2-2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Deportivo Pasto in a game that was won 3-1.

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 Independiente Medellín have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won 8 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The manager A. Bobadilla will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Jaguares de Córdoba in only three days.

A decent goal production from Independiente Medellín in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
