General match analysis

Boyacá Chicó are in very poor overall form: they have failed to win any of their last 5 matches, scoring just 2 goals and conceding 12. Once Caldas have a clearly stronger season record, with 9 wins, 13 draws and just 4 defeats, while conceding only 5 goals across their last five matches. The hosts do, however, boast a solid defensive record at home, conceding an average of 0.50 goals against opponents’ xG of 0.99 and keeping a clean sheet in 50% of matches. Once Caldas’ highly draw-oriented away profile is the key factor: as many as 77% of their away matches end level, with just an 8% defeat rate. The visitors rarely fail to score away from home, doing so in only 8% of matches, but Chicó’s current lack of efficiency and the cautious nature of both teams point towards a draw, likely with few goals.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Long-term data supports goals at both ends, as BTTS occurred in 69% of Boyacá Chicó matches and as many as 85% of Once Caldas games, compared with a league average of 53%. However, the hosts’ recent form clearly weakens this signal: they have scored just 2 goals in their last five matches, averaging 0.4 per game, while BTTS landed in only 20% of those fixtures. Their current xG is just 0.83, whereas Once Caldas have conceded an average of only 1.0 goal recently and allowed opponents an xG of 1.19. The visitors should have a good chance of scoring, as Boyacá Chicó have conceded 12 goals in their last five matches, while Once Caldas averaged 1.4 goals scored during this period with an xG of 1.87. BTTS - No is therefore the more likely outcome, primarily due to the genuine risk that the hosts fail to score once again.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest signal is Under 3.5 goals, as both teams finished below this line in 69% and 77% of their matches this season, respectively. Boyacá Chicó are in very poor offensive form: they have scored only 2 goals in their last 5 matches, averaging 0.4 per game, with an xG of just 0.83. Once Caldas have been more consistent, averaging 1.4 goals over their last five appearances and recording an xG of 1.87, but the hosts have only occasionally conceded more than 2 goals throughout the season. Both teams had at least 3 goals in 40% of their matches across the last five rounds, which does not provide sufficient support for a high goal line. The projected total of 2.37 goals points to a realistic chance of two or three goals, but clearly limits the probability of a four-goal outcome.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A Half-Time/Full-Time draw/Once Caldas win (X/2) is the most likely outcome, as the visitors were level at the break in 9 of their 13 matches, or 69% of the time. Boyacá Chicó averaged 0.92 goals before half-time, but that figure fell to 0.40 over their last five matches, while they conceded an average of 0.80 goals in that period. Full-match form clearly favors the visitors: Chicó have not won any of their last five matches, scoring just 0.4 goals per game and conceding 2.4, whereas Once Caldas averaged 1.4 goals scored and 1.0 conceded. After the break, the hosts failed to score in their last five appearances and conceded an average of 1.6 goals, while Once Caldas averaged 1.0 goal in the second half. The hosts’ higher seasonal xG, 1.81 compared with 1.44, is offset by home advantage, but current form and the visitors’ greater second-half efficiency provide stronger support for the X/2 scenario.
