Betting on Club Deportivo Popular Junior Fútbol Club
Things are quite turbulent in Junior these days as several reports have revealed that the striker, Luis Chino Sandoval, allegedly went out partying on Sunday night and showed up in bad physical shape for Monday’s training. As a result, the club is reportedly looking for ways to terminate his contract.
César Haydar, Walmer Pacheco, José Ortiz, and Omar Albornoz were also excluded from the first team’s training sessions because they were apparently drinking with Sandoval on Sunday night.
Junior needs to win the two remaining matches in the regular phase to qualify, and of course, all this controversy comes at a very bad time.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Jefersson Martínez; Fabian Andueza, Homer Martínez, Carlos Sierra, Edwin Herrera; Didier Moreno, Jhon Vélez, Vladimir Hernández, Luis González, Leider Berrío; Carlos Bacca.
Betting on Deportivo Pereira F.C.
The current Colombian champion arrives after a great week. First, it defeated Monagas 2-1 in the Libertadores Cup, and then it beat Independiente Medellin 3-1 in the Colombian League.
Unfortunately for The Matecañas, that victory against Medellin came too late because even if it wins both of the remaining games, this team won’t be able to secure a spot in the FPC semifinals. Therefore, it will have to focus on the Libertadores.
Playing away from home, Deportivo Pereira has two wins, two draws, and five losses, with eight goals scored and 12 conceded.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Santiago Londoño; Juan Quintero, Geisson Perea, Carlos Ramírez; Yilmar Velásquez, Eber Moreno, Juan Pablo Zuluaga, Johan Bocanegra, Jimer Fory; Kevin Aladesanmi, Ángelo Rodríguez.
JefeBet Prediction
On November 30th, 2022, these teams faced each other for the last time. On that occasion, Deportivo Pereira won 2-0 in Barranquilla and later reached the final, becoming champions for the first time in its history. Consequently, at JefeBet, we believe that Junior will seek revenge this Saturday and finally achieve the long-awaited victory.
Prediction: Junior Moneyline (JUN 1-0 PER)
