Betting on Independiente Medellin
The home team enters this Independiente Medellin vs Deportivo Pasto match with two consecutive losses, and the tough news of coach David González’s departure. Although the coach had good moments with the club, the results were not enough, and the DIM coach decided to step down.
The last match was against Deportivo Pereira, where it lost 3-1 on the road. Although Independiente Medellin remains in the fight for the Copa Sudamericana, the Might of the Mountain must enter the quadrangular stage; otherwise, the team would depend solely on the international tournament to save its season.
Therefore, for this match, it is expected that Independiente Medellin will gather strength from its grieving audience and rely on its experience, since the DIM has not lost in the last 16 home matches against this opponent.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Luis Vásquez; Jonathan Marulanda, Víctor Moreno, Andrés Cadavid, Daniel Londoño; Andrés Ibargüen, Jaime Alvarado, Déinner Quiñónes, Andrés Ricaurte, Edwuin Cetré; Luciano Pons.
Betting on Deportivo Pasto
In the latest matchday of the Colombian Primera A against Jaguares, Deportivo Pasto won 4-0 at home. The poker came from the feet of Adrián Estacio and Joffre Escobar, who came in during the second half. Flavio Torres’ team showed experience and determination, but most of all, it made use of ball possession to maintain the result.
Currently, Deportivo Pasto is in 7th place in the Colombian Primera A standings with twenty-six points, thanks to seven victories, and five draws. In this new match, the Pastusos will surely be just as careful in defense, but it will try to score with the precision of its striker Hidalgo.
In fact, Deportivo Pasto will be under pressure, since several clubs are close behind. The team cannot afford to slack off because a misstep here could cost it a spot in the much-desired quadrangular stage.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Diego Martínez; Gilberto García, Cristian Tovar, Jesús Figueroa, Christian Mafla; Johan Caicedo, Juan Camilo Roa, Daniel Moreno, Adrián Estacio, Edwar López; Carlos Hidalgo.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Independiente Medellin has been incredibly inconsistent and will be led by Sebastián Botero, its strength lies in playing at home, and its forward line has the ability to attack. This is evident by the fact that the team has scored at least one goal in the last 13 matches.
Furthermore, its record against Deportivo Pasto is impressive, and will surely be looking to secure three points to break into the top eight. For this reason, at JefeBet, we believe that the home team will come out on top and take the victory in the upcoming Independiente Medellin vs Deportivo Pasto thrilling encounter.
Prediction: Independiente Medellin Moneyline (DIM 2-1 PAS).
