Betting on Deportivo Pasto
Deportivo Pasto is coming from a great victory over Santa Fe, a team they defeated on Tuesday 0-2 at the El Campín Stadium in Bogotá, with goals from Edward López and Johan Campaña.
In their only home game so far, Pasto lost 2-4 against América de Cali, so they will be looking for a better image in this match against a desperate Junior, a team that has always had a hard time playing in this stadium.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Diego Martínez; Christian Mafla, Jesús Figueroa, Cristian Tovar, Juan Garavito: Juan Camilo Roa, Camilo Ayala, Didier Pino: Edward López, Joffre Escobar, Adrián Estacio.
Betting on Junior
Midfielder John Vélez, who was representing Colombia in the South American U-20 Championship, will return to the Junior squad for this upcoming match. However, Luis Cariaco González will be unavailable due to his red card in the previous game against Unión Magdalena.
There are rumors circulating that if Junior fails to secure a positive result against Pasto, coach Arturo Reyes will be dismissed. Several experienced coaches, including Reynaldo Rueda and Juan Carlos Osorio, have already been mentioned as potential candidates to replace him.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Sebastian Viera; Edwin Herrera, Iván Scarpeta, Daniel Rosero, Walmer Pacheco; Homer Martínez, Didier Moreno; Omar Albornoz, Juan Fernando Quintero, Vladimir Hernández; Carlos Bacca.
JefeBet Prediction
The last time these teams met in Pasto, the locals won 2-1, with goals from Facundo Boné and Adrián Estacio. Venezuelan Luis González had given the Barranquilleros the lead.
In light of Junior’s situation, who must now begin defending their significant investment, JefeBet thinks they will at the very least be able to secure a draw during their complicated visit to Nariño.
Prediction: Draw (Pasto 1-1 Junior).
