Chico's equivalent run reads very differently. Seven wins from 20, nine defeats, 21 goals scored but 32 shipped at the other end. That defensive record stands out as the bigger concern.

Chico's leaky defence looks like the clearest gap between the two sides right now.

Comparative Team Statistics: Deportivo Cali vs Chico

A history of tighter games than form suggests

These two have faced off regularly since 2016, and plenty of those meetings have been close. There are several 0-0 and 1-0 scorelines in the mix, along with a couple of one-sided Cali wins, including a 4-0 back in February 2024.

The most recent meeting, back in April 2026, saw Cali win 1-0 away from home. It's a reminder that even when one side is well out of form, these fixtures haven't always been easy to call.

A real gap in the table

In the current league phase, Cali sit ninth with 27 points from 19 games, while Chico are down in 18th with 17 points from the same number of matches. That's a 10-point gap built up over a full campaign, not just a recent purple patch.

An earlier stage of the season told a similar story too, with Cali comfortably the higher-placed side both times.

The table backs up what the recent form figures already suggest.
