Season ticket holders at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Barranquilla languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Valledupar will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Barranquilla form and stats
0 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Barranquilla, who have the fewest points (2) at home in Torneo Betplay, have to build on here at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in the Torneo Betplay. The home stadium (Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Barranquilla it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Sebastian Araujo Lemuz not having conceded a league goal in 199 minutes.
An away draw last time out for Barranquilla, facing Tigres in a game that ended 0-0. Before that match, a win away at Atletico.
This is expected to be a close game, with Barranquilla perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Barranquilla as a small favourite), we find six games. Barranquilla has won five of these, drawn one and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Barranquilla as they are travelling to their away game against Union Magdalena in the Torneo Betplay. That match is three days after this one.
Barranquilla has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 5 games. Barranquilla's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Valledupar has another fixture away, a Torneo Betplay game, against Llaneros in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
