La Equidad have been a bit more competitive across the same span, winning seven of 20 with five draws and eight defeats. They've scored 28 and conceded 34, so games involving them haven't exactly been tight either. Neither team looks settled defensively right now.

Both sides have been leaking goals, which points to an open game rather than a cagey one.

Comparative Team Statistics: Alianza Petrolera vs La Equidad

A long rivalry with no clear trend

These two have met over 20 times across the years and the results have gone back and forth rather than settling into a pattern. The most recent meeting went the way of La Equidad, who won 2-1 away from home, but Alianza had won the previous encounter 2-0 at home before that.

Zoom out further and it's much the same story: neither club has strung together a run of dominance over the other. This is a fixture where recent head-to-head form hasn't been a reliable guide.

The table tells two different stories

The most up-to-date standings have La Equidad sitting eighth with 28 points from 19 games, well clear of Alianza Petrolera down in 17th on 17 points. That's a decent gap for this stage of the season.

An earlier snapshot from the same campaign had both teams much closer together in the table, suggesting the gap has opened up as the season has gone on rather than being there from the start.

La Equidad's league position looks the stronger of the two right now, though the margin has built up gradually rather than being a season-long constant.

Key names to watch

F. Sanguinetti has been La Equidad's main attacking outlet, leading the way with eight goals and seven assists across 29 appearances, and K. Parra has chipped in with six assists of his own. Between them they cover a decent share of La Equidad's creative and goal threat.
