Alianza Petrolera's record over the same stretch reads five wins, five draws and ten losses, with 31 goals conceded. Their last five results have been mixed: wins against Chico and Junior, sandwiched by defeats that include a 1-4 loss to Santa Fe and a 3-0 loss at América de Cali.

Cali go into this with far more momentum than Alianza.

Comparative Team Statistics: Deportivo Cali vs Alianza Petrolera

The head-to-head record has been kinder to Alianza

Despite the current form gap, Alianza have actually won three of the last four meetings between these two, including both Primera A league fixtures in 2025 and the reverse fixture in March 2026. Cali's only win in that recent sequence came in a Copa Colombia tie in May 2026.

This fixture hasn't always followed the form book.

Where both sides sit in the table

The two most recent domestic standings snapshots both put Cali comfortably above Alianza. Cali sit 9th after 19 games in one table and 5th after 10 in another, while Alianza are down in 17th and 16th respectively in the same tables.

Players to watch

Cali's S. Rodríguez has been their most reliable source of goals, netting 10 in 26 appearances, while J. Martínez has set up seven for teammates in 28 games. On the other side, Alianza's C. Esparragoza has picked up ten yellow cards in 22 matches, the most of anyone in these squads.

Esparragoza's card count is one to watch if this game gets tetchy.

How the game could unfold

With Cali's attack in good touch and Alianza having shipped 31 goals already this season, there's a reasonable chance Cali create plenty at the other end. But Alianza have shown they can nick results away from home too, as their wins over Chico and Junior show, so this isn't a one-way ticket.
