Betting on Atlético Huila
The Atlético Huila team is in a downward spiral after suffering a humiliating 5-0 defeat against Santa Fe in their last game. They’re currently struggling in the relegation zone.
In their last five games, the team has only won once (a 1-0 victory against Envigado) and has conceded 12 goals, showing their poor defensive performance. However, they will now try to prevent Junior from qualifying by beating them.
At home, Atlético Huila has three wins, three draws, and three losses, with 11 goals scored and 12 conceded.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Jhon Figueroa; Jhon Lerma, Jonathan Lopera, Leonardo Escorcia, Andrés Rivera; Yosimarc Torres, Blas Díaz, Sebastián Hernández; Faber Gil Mosquera, Gustavo Britos, Marcus Vinicius
Betting on Atlético Junior
Junior needed to win in the last two matches to qualify for the quarterfinals without depending on other results. However, their goalless draw against Deportivo Pereira in the 19th round practically eliminated the team from Barranquilla.
El tiburón (the shark) now must beat Atlético Huila and hope that Santa Fe, Independiente Medellín, and La Equidad do not win in the final matchday, something that seems virtually impossible.
The star midfielder Juan Fernando Quintero (who has not played since round 8) is out of this match, and his future in the club is in doubt. He is a very expensive player with problems to stay on the pitch.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Jefersson Martínez; Fabian Andueza, Iván Scarpeta, Freddy Hinestroza, Edwin Herrera; Didier Moreno, Homer Martínez, Vladimir Hernández, Luis González, Leider Berrío; Carlos Bacca
JefeBet Prediction
Junior shouldn’t have any major difficulties to beat Atlético Huila, which has been one of the worst teams in the FPC in 2023. At JefeBet, we’re betting on an away win in this Atlético Huila vs Atlético Junior match.
Prediction: Junior Moneyline (HUI 0-1 JUN)
