Deportivo Pereira Preview
Deportivo Pereira, the current Colombian champions, showed a good performance against Millonarios and, in fact, they were superior to the capital team in several parts of the match. Still, in the end they had to suffer against Leonardo Castro, who did not celebrate the goals he made against his former institution.
Coach Alejandro Restrepo is expected to put on the field the same team that saw action in the previous match against Alberto Gamero and company this Friday.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2): Aldair Quintana; Carlos Ramírez, Geisson Perea, Diego Hernández; Kevin Palacios, Juan Zuluaga, Jhonny Vásquez, Juan Camilo Moreno; Johan Bocanegra; Kevin Aladesanmi, Arley Rodríguez.
Atlético Huila Preview
Jonathan Herrera, George Saunders, Edwin Tavera, Jonathan Lopera, Faber Gil, Marcus Vinicius Felicio, José Gabriel Ramírez and Jhonatan Franco are the new faces of Huila for this tournament, and in a year in which the team will have to row against the current if it wants to avoid relegation.
Argentine coach Néstor Craviotto knows he has an uphill struggle to face in 2023, but a good result at the home of the reigning champions would be a great breath of fresh air for his boys.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Jhon Figueroa; Andrés Rivera, Leonardo Escorcia, Aldair Cantillo, Jhon Lerma; Blas Díaz, Yosimarc Torres, Sebastián Hernández; José Ramírez Agudelo, Gustavo Britos, Faber Gil.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite the large number of players from the champion team that Pereira lost for this tournament, the team showed good performance against Millonarios and that gives us a reason to believe that it can aspire to fight for a place in the quadrangulars.
Facing a newly promoted team like Huila at home is the perfect opportunity to get the first three points in this new edition of the Liga BetPlay Dimayor 2023, and at JefeBet we believe that the Grande Matecaña will come out on top in this match.
Prediction: Moneyline of Pereira (PER 2-0 HUI).
