América de Cali form and stats

América de Cali have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Primera A, after 0-5-3 (8 played). Total Copa Libertadores statistics for América de Cali: 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. It's three draws from América's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

América de Cali are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Atletico Nacional. Before that, América travelled to Junior and returned home with a draw after the Primera A game finished 1-1.

Drawing 2-2 against Atletico Nacional after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager A.
