There was a strong run in August, including a 7-0 win at América de Cali and away wins at Santa Fe and Jaguares, but their two most recent league games have both ended in defeat.

Pereira's record over the same period is even leaner: four wins, seven draws and nine losses, with 25 goals shipped and only 14 scored. They've won just once in their last nine outings, a run that includes a 0-3 home loss to Independiente Medellín and a 4-1 cup defeat to América de Cali.

Home advantage doesn't look like much of a shield for Pereira on this recent evidence.

Comparative Team Statistics: Deportivo Pereira vs Chico

A rivalry that rarely produces goals

These two have faced off many times down the years, going back to 2017, and the pattern is usually tight. The most recent meeting in April saw Chico win 1-0 at home, while the encounter before that, last September, finished level at 1-1.

Look further back and draws crop up regularly, alongside a string of one-goal margins either way. Neither club has strung together any real run of head-to-head dominance recently.

Both clubs stuck near the foot of the table

The fuller table on record has Chico 18th with 17 points from 19 games, while Pereira are bottom on 10 points from the same number of matches. An earlier-stage table tells a similar story, with both sides again sitting low down after nine games apiece.

Whatever stage of the season you look at, both teams have work to do.

Pacheco's disciplinary record catches the eye

The only individual note in the data is Pereira's W. Pacheco, who has picked up ten yellow cards and a red in 21 appearances this season. That's a lot of cards for one player, though it doesn't tell us anything about his availability for this specific fixture next month.
