Betting on Club Deportivo La Equidad Seguros
La Equidad is a historically team known for causing difficulties to the teams it faces. With its best known coach, Alexis García, it has tried to a change of air through players such as Pablo Lima. Even so, it has not succeeded and finds itself in trouble at the very beginning of the tournament.
In its previous match, it lost 1-0 against Tolima away. Although it tried very hard to hold on for a draw, in the final five minutes of the game an unfortunate own goal let the point slip away at the Manuel Murillo Toro stadium.
In this upcoming match, Los Aseguradores will have the task of performing well in front of its fans. For now, the team has been sluggish when proposing offensive actions. In the last game, for example, it had only four shots on goal, while its opponents had 21.
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Washington Ortega; Carlos Arboleda, Daniel Polanco, Alejandro Prieto, Andres Correa; Yesid Diaz, Ederson Moreno, Kevin Londoño, Pablo Lima, Francisco Chaverra; Jose Lloreda.
Betting on Unión Magdalena
Los Samarios comes into this match as one of the weakest teams in the tournament. The team coached by Claudio Rodriguez is the second team that has received goals the most in the Colombian professional soccer, conceding nine goals in seven games.
Its most recent match was against Alianza Petrolera, where it lost 2-1. Although it started the game winning, the rival turned things around in less than ten minutes. One of the major criticisms against the team is the character and precision of its players, as it have had players sent off in four of the matches played.
For this new match, it is expected the visiting team to be more cautious when defending, as in the previous match it was very shaky and the defenders’ mistakes played an important role for Alianza’s win.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): Ramiro Sánchez; Juan Angulo, Eder Munive, Jairo Palomino, Nicolás Gil, Brayan Correa; Jean Carlos Colorado, Alexander Mejía, Gianfranco Baier; Andrés Carreño, Wilder Guisao.
JefeBet Prediction
In this new duel between la Equidad vs Unión Magdalena, we believe that the homeowners will claim the victory.
Union has not shown enough this season, and it has to face an opponent hungry for victory. Besides, la Equidad has the home advantage and the presence of experienced players such as Andres Correa.
Ricardo Márquez, a key player for the visitors, has been sent off in the last matchday, thus, he will be missing this game.
Prediction: La Equidad wins 1-0.
