Betting on Depotivo Pereira
Deportivo Pereira is a historic Colombian club with a 79-year history. However, it wasn’t until 2022 that they won their first title in the Colombian First Division League. Thus, they secured their first-ever qualification for the Copa Libertadores.
This situation can stir up different emotions in the Colombian team, as the pressure of playing in their first Libertadores could affect their morale and consequently, their performance.
To make matters worse, the local team is not in great performance in the Liga BetPlay, currently sitting in 14th place in the standings with only 12 points out of a possible 33. What’s more, they have conceded 16 goals, being the second-worst defensive team in the tournament, averaging over a goal per game.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Aldair Quintana; Diego Hernández, Geisson Perea, Carlos Ramírez; Jhonny Vásquez, Juan Pablo Zuluaga, Jimer Fory, Johan Bocanegra, Maicol Medina; Arley Rodríguez, Kener Valencia.
Betting on Colo Colo
After winning the Chilean League in 2022, Colo Colo has once again qualified for the Copa Libertadores, a tournament that has eluded them since their victory in the 1991 edition.
This season, the team hasn’t quite lived up to expectations, as they have practically formed a new squad and are still getting used to playing together. However, in the last local league match, they defeated Huachipato 1-0, leaving a positive impression against one of the top teams in the tournament.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2): Bryan Cortés; Maximiliano Falcon, Ramiro González, Daniel Gutiérrez; Jeyson Rojas, Cesar Fuentes, Esteban Pavez, Leonardo Gil; Marcos Bolados, Damián Pizarro.
JefeBet Prediction
Undoubtedly, this will be a tough match for both teams. On one hand, Deportivo Pereira is not in their best form and will have to deal with the mixed emotions that come with making their debut.
On the other hand, Colo Colo will have to face the challenge of playing in a difficult country, as they have never won in Colombia. However, this team knows how to break curses, as they managed to secure a victory in Brazil in 2022 after nine consecutive defeats (beating Fortaleza 1-2). That’s why, at JefeBet, we’re expecting a narrow win for the visitors.
Prediction: Colo Colo Moneyline (PER 0-1 COL).
