Once Caldas vs Junior: match statistics
Junior exhibits decidedly superior away form, boasting a 100% success rate (2 wins in 2 matches) and an impressive average of 2.5 goals per away game. Conversely, Once Caldas is enduring a poor run at home – 4 draws in their last 5 fixtures and a 0% home win rate this season. The visitors demonstrate higher scoring efficiency (19% shot conversion vs 5% for the hosts) and better overall form with 3 victories in the last 5 matches. Average xG also favors Junior (1.5 vs 2.25 for Once Caldas at home); although the hosts create more chances, they struggle with conversion. Given Junior's away dominance and Once Caldas's failure to win at home, an away victory is the most likely scenario, though a draw remains a possibility due to the hosts' tendency to share the points.
