The league table is allowed to rest as Deportivo Cali and River Plate battle for Copa Sudamericana honors in this first 1st Round leg of two fixtures.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Deportivo Cali form and stats
Deportivo Cali participated in Copa Sudamericana the last season, where they reached the 2nd round and lost against Penarol.Only two Primera A home games for Deportivo Cali so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
The Deportivo Cali supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host América de Cali in Primera A and win 2-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Patriotas Boyaca that finished 0-0.
Manager A. Arias Sánchez felt very clever after C. Lizarazo scored the winning goal against América de Cali, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 78th minute. A late climax in the match against América de Cali as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by C. Lizarazo.
There will be little rest for Deportivo Cali after this match as they are travelling to Atletico Nacional for a Primera A game in only four days.
Deportivo Cali has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
River Plate form and stats
It's not happening yet for River Plate on their Division 1 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in River Plate's last three away games as they have all been lost.
River Plate play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Libertad. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs General Diaz.
River Plate were so close to getting something from the game against Libertad, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.
A quick return to home after this game, as River Plate are hosting Sportivo San Lorenzo in the Division 1 only four days away.
1 goal so far away for River Plate, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
