Recent form has finally brought a much-needed morale boost to Spokane Velocity, a side that lingers in the lower mid-table of the league with fairly average overall quality.

I’ve picked out this Colombian Primera B fixture for analysis, with home side Real Cartagena taking on Boca Juniors de Cali. Home dominance has long been a notable trait for Real Cartagena. They consistently secure solid points returns on their own turf, and tend to adopt an aggressive, high-pressing style at home, making full use of familiar pitch conditions to pin visiting sides deep in their half. Boca Juniors de Cali, by contrast, sit in the lower half of the division table. Their away record is highly inconsistent: they often struggle with blunt attacking output on the road, while their backline regularly leaves unpatched gaps that opposing attackers can easily exploit. Home side Real Cartagena has consistently posted solid points-grabbing form on their own turf, playing with an aggressive, proactive style that makes full use of familiar pitch conditions to apply sustained pressure to visiting opponents. Their opponent Boca Juniors de Cali, by comparison, sits in the lower half
