Betting on Deportivo Cali
On the one hand, Deportivo Cali occupies the ninth place in the Colombian League standings with four games played. In these matchdays the local team has won just a single match, drawn three and have had no defeats. In addition, they have scored 4 goals and conceded 3, so they have a +1 goal difference and 6 points.
Deportivo Cali has played 2 games less than almost every other team in the league, which still gives them room for improvement, and they have a better record than many who have played all six matchdays.
These first four matches, as mentioned, consisted of one win (1-2 vs. Deportes Tolima) and three draws (0-0 vs. Once Caldas; 1-1 vs. Atlético Nacional; 1-1 vs. Águilas Doradas). Although they do not count on a great offensive power, Deportivo Cali’s defense is well positioned, as they have managed to avoid defeats against teams that are at the top of the standings, such as Águilas Doradas.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Kevin Dawson; Kevin Riascos, Germán Mera, Aldair Gutiérrez; Juan José Mina, Juan José Tello, Daniel Mantilla, Andrés Arrollo, Rafael Bustamante; Gustavo Ramírez, John Vásquez.
Betting on Pereira
On the other hand, Pereira is in the second half of the Colombian League standings. They occupy the 13th place and have played one more game than their next opponent. Thus, in five matches, they have won two and lost three, for a total of 6 points.
However, it has scored 8 goals and conceded 10, for a total of -2 in goal differential. Having the same score as Deportivo Cali, if Pereira wins the match, they could reach the maximum fifth position in the standings by goal difference.
In fact, the matches played so far have been difficult, as they have played against some of the best teams, losing against all of them (2-3 vs Millonarios; 3-1 vs Boyacá Chicó; 2-0 vs Jaguares de Córdoba). The games won were against teams significantly inferior in performance and results, so they had easy victories (2-1 vs Atlético Huila; 3-1 vs Once Caldas).
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Santiago Castaño; Yilmar Velásquez, Geisson Perea, Juan Zuluaga; Santiago Ruiz, Larry Angulo, Thomas Gutiérrez, Maicol Medina; Ángelo Rodríguez, Jimer Fory, Arley Rodríguez.
JefeBet Prediction
Although in Deportivo Cali vs Deportivo Pereira, the visitor has scored more goals overall, they have also lost more games and racked up fewer points in more matchdays. Therefore, they are less effective in defense. However, Deportivo Cali has not scored many goals per engagement either, so the match will be tied.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
