Deportivo Pereira preview
There is good news for Alejandro Restrepo, coach of the Risaralda team, as he will have his top scorer, Leonardo Castro, who received his fifth yellow card against Santa Fe and had to serve his suspension in Bogotá, back for this match. His inclusion is not minor, given that he has scored 10 goals in the tournament, which places him as the second-highest scorer.
Another returning player will be central defender Jherson Mosquera, who was sent off in the loss against Santa Fe. Undoubtedly, these are two valuable additions ahead of the crucial clash at home.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Harlen Castillo, Jhon Palacios Santos, Andrés Felipe Correa, Jherson Mosquera, Juan Pablo Zuluaga, Yílmar Velásquez, Jhonny Alexander Vásquez, Léider Iván Berrío Peña, Jimer Esteban Fory; Brayan León Muñiz, Leonardo Castro.
Millonarios preview
Monday’s win took Millonarios to the top of the group with 7 points, but this Wednesday game will be far more than a mere formality: Juan Pablo Vargas will be an important absence for the visitors, asthe Costa Rican player is already training with his national team to play in the World Cup, while Luis Carlos Ruíz is expected to be part of the squad at the last minute.
A few days ago, the club issued a statement on Twitter stating that the striker “has a muscular injury in the back of his left leg” and was therefore not called up for Monday’s match. Will he make it to Wednesday’s game? It is possible, but it’s not very likely to happen. His place would be taken by Jades Valencia, just like on Monday, although some people are thinking about Diego Herazo to play on offense too.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Ávaro Montero, Israel Alba, Andrés Llinás, Óscar Vanegas, Omar Andrés Bertel, Juan Carlos Pereira, Larry Vásquez, Carlos Andrés Gómez, David Macalister Silva, Daniel Ruiz Rivera, Jades Valencia or Diego Herazo.
JefeBet Prediction
Deportivo Pereira has great defensive problems, and despite having scored 51 goals, they have conceded 52 goals, so their difference is -1. For their part, Millonarios scored 59 goals and conceded only 37, which clearly shows how consistent they are, especially at the back.
Although playing at home always weighs heavily, Millonarios has an advantage not only in terms of their play, but also because of its history. For JefeBet, this Deportivo Pereira vs Millonarios will have the same winner as last time.
Prediction: Millonarios wins 2-1.
