Deportivo Pereira Preview
Deportivo Pereira comes into this second leg final with the illusion of being crowned in front of their fans. Alejandro Restrepo’s team achieved a great draw in the first match against Independiente Medellín at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium.
The magic of Leo Castro, who scored against his former team, was the key to come from behind and score the equalizer in the 42nd minute to seal a match that ended tied by a score of 1-1. Independiente had plenty of chances to score, but they could not materialize them on the scoreboard.
In this new clash, Deportivo Pereira vs Medellín, it is expected that in front of their fans, the Pereiranos will show again that they have the courage to face a historic team. The magic and skills of Brayan León or Leonardo Castro could be enough for Pereira to reach its first title in the First Division of Colombian Soccer.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Harlen Castillo, Jherson Mosquera, Andrés Correa, Carlos Ramírez, Juan Pablo Zuluaga, Jhonny Vásquez, Leider Berrío, Maicol Medina, Jimer Fory, Brayan León, Leonardo Castro.
Independiente Medellin Preview
Independiente Medellín arrives at this new opportunity with the goal to achieve its seventh professional title under the guidance of its former goalkeeper and legend, David Gonzalez. In the last match, Independiente struck first, with Diber Cambindo breaking Deportivo Pereira’s defense. However, Leo Castro equalized the game in a very similar fashion and scored.
During the match, Independiente had 20 approaches to the opposing goal, but was able to scored only once. In this Deportivo Pereira vs Medellín, the Reds will not have the support of their fans. However, they will try to take advantage of the great connection of the Luciano Pons-Diber Cambindo attacking duo to win in the first 90 minutes. In addition, Andres Mosquera is a wild card in case there are penalties.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Andrés Mosquera, Juan Arboleda, Javier Méndez, Andrés Cadavid, Yulián Gómez, Felipe Pardo, Andrés Ricaurte, Daniel Torres, Vladimir Hernández, Luciano Pons, Diber Cambindo.
JefeBet Prediction
Although the match is likely to be very close, things have changed, and now it is Pereira who has the advantage. At home, locals have shown that they are capable of winning against any team throughout the season. It is likely that Leo Castro, Brayan León and Léider Berrío will be more comfortable in front of their fans and decorate the Matecaña sky with a new star.
Thus, this second leg final between Deportivo Pereira and Medellín, will be a must-see game. In this case, we believe that it will be the home team who will win. In Medellín, Alejandro Restrepo’s team did not focus on defense and went in search of the rival goal from the first minutes, something that may be repeated in this new opportunity.
Prediction: Deportivo Pereira wins 1-0.
