The visiting team currently stands in 11th place with 12 points, acquired through 4 victories and 5 defeats. Their penultimate match resulted in a 0-2 loss to Deportes Tolima, followed by a 0-1 home defeat against Santa Fe. Once Caldas appears to be significantly affected by the home advantage, having gathered only 3 points on the road compared to 9 points at home, where they managed to score 8 goals and concede 6, while away they have only netted 1 goal and conceded 8. In their last 4 matches in the Championship, Once Caldas has recorded 1 victory and 3 losses, earning only 3 points from a possible 12. The team has allowed goals against in 8 of their last 9 matches in this competition, indicating defensive vulnerabilities. Out of 9 matches in this league, they have come from behind in 2 of the 6 games in which they conceded the first goal. Notably, they scored 5 of their 14 goals during the closing stages of the matches (76’–90′).
