Almagro vs Colegiales: match statistics

Almagro have a clear home advantage: they win 50% of their home matches, while Colegiales have won just 8% of their away games and lost as many as 75%. The hosts average 1.08 goals scored and 0.75 conceded at home, whereas the visitors score only 0.33 goals away from home and concede 1.42. Colegiales have failed to score in 67% of their away fixtures, which, combined with Almagro’s 42% clean-sheet rate, supports the scenario of the visitors’ attacking output being limited. Both teams have a similar goal record over their last five matches, with 5 goals scored apiece, but Almagro are more clinical at home, converting 11% of their shots into goals compared with their opponents’ 4% away from home. The difference between the hosts’ home xG (1.28) and the visitors’ away xG (1.29) is minimal, but Colegiales’ poor finishing and highly unfavorable away results point towards an Almagro victory.

The strongest argument for BTTS - No is Colegiales’ poor away attacking efficiency: the team averages just 0.33 goals per match on the road and failed to score in 67% of such games. Almagro keeps a clean sheet in 50% of its home matches, while Colegiales has a season BTTS rate of only 25%, clearly below the hosts’ 50% and the league-wide figure of 40%. The home side is significantly more effective at home, averaging 1.58 goals, while the visitors concede 1.42 goals away from home, making an Almagro win to nil a realistic scenario. The last five matches provide some counter-evidence, as both teams averaged 1.0 goal and recorded BTTS rates of 60% and 40%, respectively, but this is not strong enough to offset Colegiales’ very low away attacking output. BTTS - No primarily indicates a higher probability that at least one team, particularly the visitors, will finish the match without scoring.

The match profile points to a moderate goal total: the league average is just 1.94 goals, while 68% of matches in this competition have ended with Under 2.5 goals. Colegiales score just 0.33 goals per away match and have not scored more than one goal in any such fixture, while Almagro keep a clean sheet in 50% of their home matches. Almagro are more effective at home, averaging 1.58 goals, but the last five matches for both teams have produced an average of 1.0 goal per match. In addition, Almagro’s matches have ended with Under 3.5 goals in 75% of cases, compared with 92% for Colegiales, making Under 3.5 the selection with the strongest statistical support.

The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by an Almagro win, as the hosts were level at the break in 67% of their matches, compared with 42% for Colegiales. The first halves of both teams are highly cautious: Almagro average 0.42 goals before the break, while the visitors average just 0.08, and Colegiales have failed to score before half-time in 92% of their matches. After the interval, the hosts’ advantage increases significantly, as they average 1.17 goals and win the second half in 67% of cases, while their opponents score only 0.25 goals. Over the course of the season, Almagro average 2.08 points per match and have a 58% win rate, compared with Colegiales’ 0.42 points per match and 75% defeat rate, reinforcing the forecast of a home win in the final result. The visitors’ recent form is better than their season record, so a final draw or a late Colegiales turnaround remain realistic, but neither outweighs the X/1 signal.
