The upcoming match between Boyaca Chico vs America de Cali features the home team as one of the most consistent squads in the Apertura season. Its return to the First Division was celebrated with great fanfare, and despite having a modest roster, it managed to pull off several unexpected and significant victories, making it a tough team to defeat.
Boyacá Chicó finished fifth on the overall standings, recording only four losses out of twenty matches played. In fact, the team has one of the best defensive records in the league. Its final match was against Deportivo Cali, ended in a goalless draw. Despite a dazzling start, the team struggled towards the end of the season and have had a winless streak of six matches so far.
This match will be an opportunity for the team’s players to prove their worth, as effectiveness and efficiency weigh heavily in the final stages. It is essential to highlight that the Boyacenses have not lost at home in 18 games.

Betting on America de Cali
The Escarlatas team underwent a long and beneficial process with its coach Alexandre Guimarães. The team finished as the fourth-best team in the first phase, managing to secure nine victories. They also had (together with Águilas Doradas) the most effective front line, scoring 32 goals.
Now, in this match, the team will surely offer a strong midfield display, with experienced players like Darwin Quintero and Adrián Ramos. The Cali team’s latest match was against Atlético Bucaramanga, where the team lost 2-1.
The Diablos Rojos team has only lost one of its five recent encounters against its current rival and will surely arrive to this match with the desire to score and secure three points to make its mark in this tough group where it has already have a disadvantage with Millonarios.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Diego Novoa; Brayan Córdoba, Kevin Andrade, Edwin Velasco; Cristian Barrios, Franco Leys, Juan Portilla, Andrés Sarmiento, Luis Sánchez; Darwin Quintero, Adrián Ramos.
JefeBet Prediction
Even though Boyacá Chicó performance has not been as good in the last few matchdays, the team has shown that it is capable to keep the category this year, and it is not crazy to consider it a strong candidate to win the title as well. The synchrony of its players and the strategy of Mario García have made Tunja a strong opponent to defeat for America de Cali.
On the other hand, América supremacy makes it a favorite, although it still has several doubts to face this quadrangular stage. Based on what was shown in the first phase of the tournament, at JefeBet, we believe that the home team will take the three points in this Boyaca Chico vs America de Cali match.
