Venue: Estadio Sierra Nevada (16000 seats)

The visiting Millonarios side should be favourites in this visit to Union Magdalena, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their eight league games this season.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Unión Magdalena and Millonarios.

Millonarios have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Unión Magdalena form and stats

The story so far in the Primera A for Unión Magdalena at their home stadium (Estadio Sierra Nevada) is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Unión Magdalena to get some points in this home game.

The Unión Magdalena crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Cucuta Deportivo here at Estadio Sierra Nevada in a Primera A match. Heartbreak before that as Unión Magdalena lost 0-2 at Deportivo Pasto's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Unión Magdalena perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Unión Magdalena as a small favourite), we find five games. Unión Magdalena has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

There will be little rest for Unión Magdalena after this match as they are travelling to Junior for a Primera A game in only three days.

The Unión Magdalena fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. From these home matches, Unión Magdalena have conceded only 3 goals.

Millonarios form and stats

Millonarios are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera A, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). Millonarios has drawn their two previous away games.

Millonarios are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Atletico Nacional (placed 2nd). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Deportivo Cali.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Millonarios playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were 2 Millonarios wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Millonarios now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera A game at Santa Fe is waiting in only three days.

Millonarios have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Millonarios have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
