With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Primera B game of the season. Universitario Popayán look forward to welcoming Orsomarso in front of their home support.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Universitario Popayán form and stats

The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Universitario Popayán, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Universitario Popayán lost their last game at Real Santander after a 0-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home Copa Colombia game against América de Cali that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Universitario Popayán perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Universitario Popayán as a small favourite), we find nine games. Universitario Popayán has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

There will be little rest for Universitario Popayán after this match as they are travelling to Valledupar for a Primera B game in only four days.

Last season, Universitario Popayán's league statistics were 8 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses, resulting in a 12th position in the Primera B. Over these 30 matches they scored 36 goals and conceded 46. Playing at home last season Universitario Popayán managed 5-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 17 conceded.

Orsomarso form and stats

The manager J. Sangiovanni was unhappy after their last game, a Primera B match played at their home ground Estadio Ciro López. Orsomarso suffered a 1-2 loss to Real Cartagena. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Deportes Quindío in the Copa Colombia.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Orsomarso playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 1 Orsomarso win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

A quick return to home after this game, as Orsomarso are hosting Real Santander in the Primera B only four days away.

Let's have a look at how Orsomarso performed last season in the Primera B: They landed a 15th position in the league table after playing out 7 victories, 7 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 20 and conceded 31 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 3 and lost 12 with 4/23 goals scored/conceded.
