Betting on Alianza Petrolera
In the last matchday of Colombian soccer against Envigado, the team from Barrancabermeja drew goalless playing away from home. The team dominated the match and had a total of 25 shots that it failed to score. Indeed, one of Alianza’s weaknesses is its passing accuracy, as the team gives the ball away too easily in the middle of the field, thus giving its opponents a chance to counter-attack.
The Petroleros occupy the 15th place in the Colombian standings, with four points as a result of one win and one draw. For this new Alianza Petrolera vs Independiente Medellin match, the Aurinegros will have to get stronger in defense, led by Pedro Franco. The team will also have to resort to Harrison Mojica to create play from the last quarter of the field.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): José Luis Chunga; Efraín Navarro, Luciano Ospina, Pedro Franco, Juan Patiño; Freddy Flórez, Rubén Manjarrés; Luis Angulo, Harrison Mojica, Sebastián Acosta; Ferlys García.
Betting on Independiente Medellín
The powerful Medellín team arrives to this Alianza Petrolera vs Independiente Medellin clash carrying the baggage of the defeat, that has accompanied them in the last three matchdays, over its shoulders. The Medellín team occupies the 18th place in the standings with only 2 points out of a possible 15. The team led by David Gonzalez is not getting off, on the contrary, it is performing worse and worse in the local tournament.
In its last league match against América de Cali at home, El Rojo Paisa lost 1-0 with an agonizing goal by Luis Sánchez in the 90+2nd minute. In this way, and with the crowd in an uproar, Gonzalez’s team showed that there is nothing left of the team that reached the final in 2022.
For this new matchday, the team is expected to repeat Wednesday’s performance against El Nacional in Copa Libertadores (2-2), which was outstanding and showed a different look than the one exhibited in the FPC.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Andrés Mosquera; Jhon Palacios, Víctor Moreno, Andrés Cadavid; Jordy Monroy, David Loaiza, Andrés Ricaurte, Daniel Londoño; Felipe Pardo, Luciano Pon, Ever Valencia.
JefeBet Prediction
In this new Alianza Petrolera vs Independiente Medellin clash, we believe that the visiting team will take the 3 points.
Although the Medellin team has had one of the lowest performances in the Colombian tournament, what it showed in the Copa Libertadores match was very different. Perhaps, with a boost in morale and a better approach from the coach, the team led by Andrés Cadavid could be able to improve and take the win.
Alianza has not shown much, but its home is one of the most complex places to play as the visiting team. Also, the experience of players like Pedro Franco is very valuable.
Prediction: Independiente Medellín wins 1-0.
