Boyaca Chico VS Atletico Bucaramanga

The looming threat of relegation looms large for the home side as the Colombian Primera A Torneo Apertura rolls into its latest round of fixtures. Sitting 17th in the standings, the hosts welcome 5th-placed Atletico Bucaramanga to their stadium, knowing a positive result would not only bring them much-needed points to climb out of the relegation zone, but also give their team morale a massive shot in the arm. They have turned in underwhelming performances across the season so far, picking up just 3 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses from 14 outings for a total of 12 points, leaving them lingering near the foot of the table. Their win rate sits at a lowly 21.4%, with clear shortcomings across both attacking and defensive phases. Their backline has been particularly porous, shipping 25 goals in total at a rate of almost 2 per game. That said, the home side is far from without its strengths heading into this fixture.
