Unión Española Once Caldas betting prediction

The away team comes to this 2^nd round of Group F after a loss in their debut in this group stage, against Fluminense, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera A, they got a home win against América de Cali by (3‑0). In the last 10 away matches Once Caldas has won 2, tied 2 and lost 6. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 15 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Once Caldas, on the other hand, suffered a narrow defeat against Fluminense in their opening game and, although they played competitively, they failed to pick up any points. The Colombian side will have to improve their defense and create more goalscoring opportunities if they are to surprise Unión Española away from home. Although the scenario is challenging, Once Caldas still have the quality to fight for a place in the next round, and a win here could give them the boost they need to continue in the competition.

Confirmed Lineup: James Aguirre, Jerson Malagon, Juan Cuesta Santos, Juan Patiño Paz, Jorge Cardona, Víctor Dorrego Coito, Iván Rojas, Mateo García, Jefry Zapata Ramírez, Dayro Moreno, Michael Barrios.
Coach: E. Lara.
