Leones FC form and stats
Leones FC have collected 7 points from their Torneo Betplay home games so far after 1-4-0.
A nice win for Leones FC last time playing, versus Valledupar. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0. A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, six matches in a row.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Universitario Popayan that finished 1-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Leones FC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leones FC as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Leones has won 1 of these, drawn 9 and lost 2.
Low-scoring affair? In this club's last 12 league games, 10 have seen less than three goals (under 2.5).

Fortaleza had fun at their own home (Estadio Metropolitano de Itagüí) last time out, beating Boyaca Chico 1-0. Parra scored.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Atletico.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fortaleza CEIF playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 5 Fortaleza CEIF wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats.
