Aguilas have been a bit steadier, winning six of their last 20 and scoring 27 goals compared to Cucuta's 16. They've conceded 30 too though, so it's not as if either side is watertight at the back.

Aguilas look the more reliable of the two on recent evidence, without being anything close to dominant.

It's a small sample and some of it is old, but Aguilas have had the edge in this fixture more often than not.

Where they sit

In the table covering 19 games played for both sides, Aguilas are 12th on 26 points while Cucuta sit down in 19th with 16 points. A shorter run of matches in the data tells a similar story, with Aguilas again above Cucuta in both points and position.

How this one could go

Put it together and Aguilas arrive with the better recent form, the stronger head-to-head record and the higher league position. Cucuta's home matches haven't been separated out in what we have, so it's hard to say how much of a lift, if any, they get from playing at home.

Cucuta have shown they can score in bursts, netting five in one match and beating Deportivo Cali 3-0 more recently, so they're not without a threat. Whether that flashes-of-quality approach holds up against a side with the recent h2h edge is the open part.
