Rionegro Aguilas Preview
The team led by Leonel Álvarez had a great performance in this season and finished the round-robin phase in second place after 8 wins, 9 draws and 3 losses. The team has a very clear style of play and has been able to face the games with seriousness and with the good performances of players such as Orlando Berrío and Marco Pérez.
In their last BetPlay League game, Rionegro drew in a goalless match against Cortuluá, who were relegated in this edition. For this Rionegro Águilas vs América de Cali, the home team is expected to press in the first few minutes and take possession of the ball to concrete offensive plays.
Possible lineup: José David Contreras; Mateo Puerta, Jean Pestaña, Jeison Quiñones, Mauricio Duarte; Jesús Rivas, Kevin Castaño, Orlando Berrío, Anthony Vásquez, Robinson Flores; Marco Pérez.
América de Cali Preview
América de Cali qualified for this quadrangular phase in the last matchday. The team led by Alexandre Guimaraes finished in seventh place in the regular phase, accumulating 31 points. For this away match, Rionegro Águilas vs América de Cali, America de Cali will be looking to get off on the right foot and win against one of the most consistent teams in the tournament.
Their last game of the previous phase was against Union Magdalena in Santa Marta. “The red devils” finished 0-0, and therefore they are eager to win once again. The experience of Adrián Ramos and the security provided by Joel Graterol could make this América one of the most complex teams in Group B.
Possible lineup: Joel Graterol; Daniel Quiñones, Kevin Andrade, John García, Brayan Vera; Juan Portilla, Carlos Sierra, Juan David Pérez, Daniel Hernández, Esneyder Mena; Adrián Ramos.
JefeBet Prediction
Considering their record this semester and the position in which they finished the initial phase, we believe that it will be Rionegro Aguilas who will win this match. The presence of a natural striker like Marco Perez can doom the Scarlets if they leave any free space in defense.
Prediction: Rionegro Águilas win 2-1.
