Venue: Estadio Alberto Grisales (14000 seats)

It's early days in the Primera A and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Rionegro Águilas form and stats

Rionegro Águilas are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two games.

In their previous game, the manager F. Torres led his Rionegro Águilas to a defeat in the Primera A match away at Patriotas Boyacá. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Alberto Grisales. The points were shared before that, a Copa Colombia home game that ended 1-1 versus Deportivo Pereira.

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 Rionegro Águilas have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 3 Lost 2.

There will be little rest for Rionegro Águilas after this match as they are travelling to Deportivo Pereira for a Copa Colombia game in only three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Rionegro Águilas at home. 1 on target and 5 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Junior form and stats

Things could have gone better for Junior in their away games, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

The manager J. Comesaña was unhappy after their last game, a Primera A match played at their home ground Estadio Alberto Grisales. Junior suffered a 0-1 loss to América de Cali. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Independiente Medellín.

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

1 goal so far away for Junior, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Junior - Rionegro Águilas 1-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Rionegro Águilas won 2 games, 5 matches ended with a draw and Junior has 3 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 3 / 7
