Copa Sudamericana betting and spectator preview: Deportes Tolima and Junior FC meet at Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It's quite the trip for Junior FC when visiting Deportes Tolima as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
There have been limited time to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a Liga BetPlay fixture only four days back. That game was an away game at Deportivo Pereira, so at least Deportes Tolima are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Deportes Tolima form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Deportes Tolima's two home games in the Liga BetPlay so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro.
An away draw last time out for Deportes, facing Deportivo Pereira in a game that ended 1-1. Quiñones was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.54 out of 10. The defender Quiñones scored one goal and won 4 of 4 duels.
Preceding that match was a Liga BetPlay defeat to Deportivo Cali (1-2).This is expected to be a close game, with Deportes Tolima perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Deportes Tolima as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Deportes Tolima has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Deportes Tolima at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Junior FC was sent out of Copa Sudamericana in the group stage last season.The Liga BetPlay season is young and Junior FC have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Junior FC are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the game against La Equidad. Scarpetta, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.62. Scarpetta won 5 of 8 duels.
Prior to that match, the Junior manager Montero faced defeat when travelling to Deportivo Pasto and losing 0-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Junior FC playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 2 Junior FC wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Junior FC are hosting Envigado in the Liga BetPlay only three days away.
