Boyacá Chicó Preview
In its return to the first division, Boyacá Chicó confirmed as reinforcements Víctor Perea, Galileo Del Castillo, Daniel Soto, and Agustín Aleo. The team has no players on the injury list at the moment, and it will keep the rest of the squad that won the second category of Colombian soccer.

JefeBet Prediction
This match in Tunja is a very important duel despite the fact that we are only in the first date of the FPC, as these two teams will be fighting to escape relegation in 2023, which spices things up.
It is never easy to play at the performance level of Tunja, but Alianza Petrolera also added important reinforcements such as defender Pedro Franco. Plus, the greater experience of its roster leads us to believe that they can give a blow of authority and score three points in their debut.
Prediction: Alianza Petrolera Moneyline (Boyacá Chicó 0-1 Alianza Petrolera).
