Pereira Preview
Pereira had its match against Deportivo Cali scheduled for the first matchday postponed, so this will be its official debut in this new league campaign. On this occasion, it will be in front of its fans after the team was crowned champion of Colombian soccer for the first time in its history during the Clausura 2022 to everyone’s surprise.
Much of this was due to the way they finished the tournament playing at home, scoring 12 goals in their last five home games and remaining unbeaten in the process (four wins, one draw). A lot of time has passed since then, but Pereira will be hoping to maintain that level in this clash to start his title defense on the right foot.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Aldair Quintana; Juan Zuluaga, Geisson Perea, Carlos Ramírez, Juan Camilo Moreno; Jhonny Vásquez, Maicol Medina; Arley Rodríguez, Yesús Cabrera, Johan Bocanegra; Ángelo Rodríguez.
Millonarios Preview
Like the home team, Millonarios will be well rested for this game after their first day’s match was also postponed. This is an opportunity for the Ambassador to take revenge on its rival, as the two shared a group in the past quadrangulars and failed to qualify for the final after being beaten by just one point.
It is worth remembering that Millonarios did not look at all good in their preseason friendlies, with a record of two draws and one loss in three matches. In addition, their striker Fernando Uribe is expected to miss this game, which will be a huge detriment to their offense.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Juan Moreno; Israel Alba, Oscar Vanegas, Juan Pablo Vargas, Omar Bertel; Juan Carlos Pereira, Larry Vásquez; Yuber Quiñones, Danilo Ruiz, Edgar Guerra; Leonardo Castro.
JefeBet Prediction
Playing as visitors during their debut will surely be uncomfortable for Millonarios, especially because they will have to do it at the home of the champion. Of their last eight away games, Millonarios lost in five of them, winning two and drawing the remaining game.
On the other side, Pereira has been really strong at home and will try to maintain that level of play this time against one of Colombia’s giants to prove that the title was no mere coincidence.
It is worth noting that Pereira has beaten Millonarios in the last three meetings between the two at the Hernán Ramírez Villegas stadium, and appears to be on track to record a fourth straight win.
Prediction: Pereira Moneyline (PER 2 – MIL 1)
