Bettng on America de Cali
América de Cali has had registered some defeats recently; however, it is one of the most complicated rivals this season for any team in the FPC. Alexandre Guimarães’s squad seems to be adapting better and better to the approach of its manager, who is just completing his first year with the scarlet-colored club.
In their last match against Alianza Petrolera, the red devils won 1-0 at home, in a game they dominated from the beginning and could have scored more goals. With this result, América occupies the second place in the Colombian tournament standings with five wins in seven games and the same number of points as the leader, Boyacá Chicó.
For this duel, the local team is expected to continue generating play through the experience of players such as Darwin Quintero and Adrián Ramos.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Diego Novoa; Cristian Arrieta, Brayan Córdoba, John García, Edwin Velasco; Juan Portilla, Franco Leys, Darwin Quintero, Andrés Sarmiento; Adrián Ramos, Facundo Suárez.
Betting on Junior
The shark comes into this match with difficulties, but the fans have trust on the work that Hernán Darío Gómez can do as coach. In their last match against Santa Fe, the team drew 1-1 at home and showed several shortcomings
Although they started winning with a great goal by Vladimir Hernandez, minutes later, Santa Fe dismantled their defense and tied the game. Junior was missing Juan Fernando Quintero, who was out with an injury and will not be available for this match due to his call-up to the Colombian National Team.
So far, the team from Barranquilla occupies the 19th place in the standings, so they will be looking for a golden victory to get back on its feet.
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Sebastián Viera; Walmer Pacheco, Federico Andueza, José Ortiz, Fredy Hinestroza; Leider Berrío, Didier Moreno, Leider Berdugo, Vladimir Hernández, Luis González; Brayan León.
JefeBet Prediction
In this new América de Cali vs Junior match, we believe that the home team will take all the three points. The Scarlets have a powerful roster and have been able to face this league according to the requirements of their coaching staff. Their results have been very favorable, and they have only lost on two occasions. What’s more, this club’s mix of experience and youth makes it a very dangerous opponent. Junior, on the other hand, has gone three games without a win and has yet to win on the road.
Prediction: America de Cali wins by a score of 2-1.
