Alianza Petrolera VS Atletico Bucaramanga

The performance of Alianza has been far from satisfactory in recent times. In the previous season's spring league, they managed only 3 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses in 19 rounds, accumulating 17 points and ranking 17th. They were deeply mired in the relegation zone, with an average of only 0.68 goals per game, placing them at the bottom of the league in terms of offense. Their home record was also poor. In 9 home games, they had 2 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses, with a win - rate of just 22.2%. The 5 draws clearly indicated their lack of ability to secure victories at home. In the first round of the new - season autumn league, they drew 1 - 1 away against Deportes Tolima. In their last 10 matches across all competitions, they had just 1 win, 0 draws, and 9 losses, averaging 0.4 goals scored and 1.7 goals conceded per game, showing a dismal form. For this game, the defensive midfielder Fabu Castro is injured, which will weaken the team's midfield interception. The head coach, Camilo Ayala, has a conservative coaching style. He usually employs a low - block defense and counter - attack strategy at home. However, the team has a low - quality first pass when transitioning from defense to attack. There is a shortage of reliable goal - scorers in the front - line, and set - pieces are their main source of scoring.
