Once Caldas Preview
Once Caldas did not have it easy in its debut in the Colombian League’s Apertura 2023 Tournament, as it had to face Atlético Nacional. And, although a defeat would have been expected, the fact that it was by a score of 1-0—even though they dominated the game for several periods of the match—is reason enough to be hopeful.
They will now play at home, where they will try to end a streak of four consecutive matches without a win, with two draws and two defeats. At least the team has been proactive in those matches, scoring in three of them. This is not expected to change, however, now that they will be playing in front of their home fans.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Eder Chaux; Santiago Jiménez, Jáimer Torijano, Andrés Correa, Alejandro Artunduaga; Guillermo Celis, Juan David Rodríguez; Luis Miranda, Sherman Cárdenas, Alejandro García; Dayro Moreno.
Tolima Preview
Tolima had a big job ahead of them to fix the bad image they left in the last Clausura 2022, where they were the biggest disappointment of the tournament as they failed to qualify for the quadrangular phase after a deplorable performance. The task began with a match against América de Cali, in which the Vinotinto y Oro came out on top, winning 2-1 thanks to Andrés Rentería’s 87th-minute goal.
Tolima has now won four of its last five official matches, and will need to continue on that path if it dreams of qualifying for the next round and having a chance to win another league title.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): William Cuesta; Juan Arboleda, Juan Arboleda, Julián Quiñónes, José Cuenú, Nicolás Giraldo; Juan Valencia, Cristian Trujillo; Estefano Arango, Yeison Guzmán, Jeison Lucumi; Brayan Gil Hurtado.
JefeBet Prediction
Tolima has been a difficult opponent for Once Caldas recently, as the Blanco Blanco has failed to beat them in the last four meetings between them, winning two and drawing the other two.
History may repeat itself once again, as Tolima seems to be getting back to its best, and if that’s the case, it will be a very difficult team to beat. Despite this, Once Caldas has been a difficult team to beat in Manizales, losing only one of its last 11 home games.
We believe that the visitors are slightly superior at the moment, but we do not rule out that Once Caldas can rescue a point in this match, so the handicap in favor of Tolima is a good bet in this particular match.
Prediction: Tolima Asian Handicap (ONC 1 – TOL 2)
