Betting on Independiente Medellin
Independiente Medellin has been one of the most underperforming teams in Colombian soccer so far in 2023. In the eight games it has played, it has only managed two victories. In the most recent away game against Boyacá Chicó, it lost by 2-0.
Despite Medellin’s attempt to finish some of its 14 shots, it was not possible. On the other hand, Michael Gómez and Geimer Balanta did their part with a little complicity from goalkeeper Vásquez. It is important to note that the match was played with an alternate roster, as the heavyweights of the team were saved for the Copa Libertadores match, where they won against Magallanes.
For the Independiente Medellin vs Jaguares clash, what’s new is Medellin‘s starting lineup, with its starters and David González, who will try to go for his second home victory during the league.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Andrés Mosquera; Jordy Monroy, Víctor Moreno, Andrés Cadavid, Daniel Londoño; Jaime Alvarado, Daniel Torres; Emerson Batalla, Miguel Monsalve, Ever Valencia; Luciano Pons.
Betting on Jaguares de Cordoba
Jaguares arrives at this Independiente Medellin vs Jaguares clash with the intense need to get away points. In the last match against Atlético Huila, it lost by 2-1 at home, although it started on top with a goal by Omar Duarte just 37 seconds into the match.
For the time being, the Cordoba team is in 11th place in the Colombian Primera A tournament, having obtained 9 out of a possible 24 points. Jaguares has yet to win on enemy grounds this season.
For the upcoming match, it is expected that Carlos Restrepo’s team will be properly positioned in defense, as we will surely be facing a Medellín also in need of a victory, and will try to open spaces between the lines.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Jorge Soto; Carlos Pájaro, Geremias Meléndez, Breiner Paz, Mauricio Castaño; Julián Guevara, Juan Castellanos, Pablo Rojas, Brayner de Alba, Jhonier Viveros; Omar Duarte.
JefeBet Prediction
In this new Independiente Medellin vs Jaguares encounter, we believe that the home team will take the points.
It is true that this could be the awakening of the local team after its victory in Copa Libertadores. Gonzalez’s approach will probably look to Emerson Batalla and Ever Valencia to provide an outlet for Luciano Pons, who has not been very sharp in the league.
Prediction: Independiente Medellin wins by 1-0.
