Junior F.C vs Independiente Medellin Prediction: Junior Leading the Head to Head Stats Against Medellin

In the upcoming fixture of the Colombia Categoria A, Independiente Medellin will start its run in the season against Junior F.C at the Roberto Melendez Metropolitan Stadium. Going in the contest, Junior is certainly struggling, as they have failed to win a contest in 7 attempts. With Medellin in the opposition corner, Junior F.C will have to play out of the box to win. These two teams met previously in August 2022, where Junior FC won (4-2), sending shockwaves to the entire Medellin dugout. However, for the upcoming contest, we might be predicting something different.

The two teams have shared the field for 53 times. Junior leads the head-to-head win count by (23-19), with 11 matches ended in a draw. From the stats of the 53 games played between the two, both teams scored a total of about 2.58 goals on an average.

Going in the matchup, Junior FC is coming off a draw against Rionegro Aguilas (1-1), in which Omar Alboronz started the proceedings with a goal for Junior’s in the 16th minute of play. In the previous game, Junior managed to secure 38% possession only, which isn’t enough for winning against Medellin. In the last 10 games played at home, Junior FC has been successful in only 4. With a goal scoring average of 1.34 goals per game against Independiente Medellin, Junior can definitely dominate, however, its current form isn’t quite convincing. Home fixtures can be a turn around for struggling teams, and that is what Junior is searching at the moment.

Independiente Medellin will be all geared up to perform at the big stage of their opening day in the Colombia Categoria A. Medellin has scored 2 or more goals in 12 of its last 20 games, which is why odds suggest Medellin to win. With an average of 1.30 goals per game in away fixtures, Medellin might score early in the contest, securing a lead. With a goal scoring average of 1.25 goals against Junior, Medellin aren’t much behind the average of the opposition.

Medellin has recorded over 2.5 goals in 5 of its last 10 away matches, which is why I am predicting the upcoming contest to be an exciting one. Considering the goal scoring averages of the two sides, I am backing both sides to score. However, the home conditions will favor Junior to win. The final result is likely to be 2-1. 

• Junior FC to Win for 1.95
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 2.09
• Correct Score 2-1 for 9.50
