Alianza Petrolera Preview
Alianza Petrolera has a mathematical chance of qualifying for the next round. However, this will be complicated considering that they must win their three remaining matches and hope that the results of the teams above them play out in their favor.
Having won just one of its last ten matches is the main reason why Alianza Petrolera finds itself in this uncomfortable position. That victory took place a couple of days ago against Independiente de Santa Fe, a team located above them in the standings, and this could help them gain some confidence before this important match.
Absences: No report
Probable lineup (5-4-1): José Luis Chunga; Efraín Navarro, Richard Rentería, Luciano Ospina, Julián Guevara, Leonardo Saldaña; Sebastián Acosta, Kevin Londoño, Santiago Orozco, Estefano Arango; Brayan Gil Hurtado.
America de Cali Preview
Before the start of this matchday, only one point separates América de Cali from the top eight in the standings. However, after their 1-1 draw with Jaguares last week, the team has been unable to win in any of its last five games. This stopped the good moment América had been building up and stuck it into this position. It is also worth mentioning that only one of those games ended in a loss, so at least it has been picking up points in many of those matchdays.
It is important to highlight the good work done by the Scarlet team in defense, as it has allowed the fewest goals in the entire tournament, with only 11. Nevertheless, having scored only 15 goals did not allow them to take advantage of this solid defensive play as much as they would like to.
Absences: Luis Sanchez, Gustavo Carvajal.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Diego Novoa; Esneyder Mena, Kevin Andrade, John García, Nicolás Giraldo; Juan Pérez, Carlos Sierra, Juan Camilo Portilla, Déinner Quiñonez; Adrián Ramos, Gianfranco Peña.
JefeBet Prediction
Alianza Petrolera’s recent matches have been very one-sided, with the last three seeing one team win by two or more goals, while the most recent two saw one of them go scoreless.
This is a trend that could continue against América de Cali, a team used to games without much movement on the scoreboard, as they average of 1.5 goals per game in this league season.
In fact, eight of América de Cali’s last ten matches in this tournament have only one team scoring, or ended in a 0-0 draw.
Prediction: Both teams score: no (PET 0 – AME 1)
