Cortuluá come into the match on the back of a 3-2 defeat at Envigado last time out in the Primera A.
Having fallen behind after only 3 minutes, Cortuluá equalised only to concede a second goal 12 minutes later. Envigado scored their third goal in the 64th minute, with Cortuluá netting a late consolation goal.
That result means Cortuluá have failed to win any of their last 7 fixtures, all of which have been in the Primera A. There have been 6 defeats in those 7 games, with the only draw coming away to Deportes Tolima and the match ended without a goal.
Home form in the Primera A shows Cortuluá have recorded only 1 win from their 5 most recent matches in the league.
In fact, they have won only 2 of their last 10 Primera A games at the Estadio Doce de Octubre and have lost each of their last 3 matches in-front of their own fans. Cortuluá have kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 11 home Primera A games.
Deportivo Cali make the trip to the Estadio Doce de Octubre having previously lost 3-0 at Atlético Nacional, who are competing near the top of the table. Two of the goals were scored inside the first 12 minutes of the match and Atlético Nacional made sure of the points as they scored their third goal in the 61st minute.
That result means Deportivo Cali have recorded only 1 victory from their 15 most recent matches in all competitions.
They have picked up just 1 win from their 12 Primera A games this season and that came in their most recent home fixture against Deportivo Pasto.
Away form in the Primera A shows Deportivo Cali have failed to win any of their last 7 matches on the road. They have conceded 2 or more goals in 6 of those 7 away games.
Team news and Cortuluá are set to start with the experienced Feiver Mercado in attack but he only has 2 goals to his name this season. Guillermo Murillo and Johar Mejia are also competing for a place up-front.
Deportivo Cali have the likes of Kevin Velasco plus the experienced duo of Teofilo Gutiérrez and Angelo Rodríguez to call upon in attack.
This is a game between two struggling teams and it is difficult to split them. Both teams could find the back of the net as they have each been poor defensively. That means this one could end level, in a 1-1 draw.
