Comparative Team Statistics: America de Cali vs Cucuta

Head-to-head: a mixed history, capped by a recent upset

Six meetings are on record between these two, stretching back to 2016 and covering both Primera A and the old Primera B, so it's not a clean like-for-like comparison. América have won three of them, Cucuta two, with one draw.

The most recent clash, in April this year, saw Cucuta beat América 2-0 on their own patch. This time the venue flips, with América at home instead, so that result doesn't map directly onto this fixture.

Cucuta have shown before they can trouble América, but not in the venue they'll have this time.

Where they sit in the table

América are 4th with 33 points from 19 games, built on 10 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. Cucuta sit 19th with 16 points from the same number of matches, having won just 3, drawn 7 and lost 9.

That gap in the table lines up with what the recent form figures already suggested.
