Unión Magdalena Preview
The Samario team, coached by David Ferreira, has been underperforming in the last few days. In their most recent match against Patriotas, Unión lost 3-1. The Boyaca team’s goals came from a penalty kick, two defensive errors and Carlos Bejarano’s lousy night in goal.
Correcting the defensive errors may make the story in this Unión Magdalena vs Medellín game different. Throughout this BetPlay II League, the banana cyclone has won 7 times, drawn 3 times and lost 5 times.
Possible Unión Magdalena lineup: Carlos Bejarano; Jermein Peña, Juan Pablo Vacca, Jairo Palomino, Jonathan Segura, Alain Guerrero; Ronaldo Lora, Agostino Spina, James Sánchez; José Lloreda, Daiver Vega.
Independiente Medellín Preview
The red team from Antioquia has had a season that has been on the rise in recent FPC contests. However, the exception occurred on the last day of the tournament, when Independiente Medellín lost 3-2 in the paisa classic against Atlético Nacional. Although Luciano Pons and Vladimir Hernández scored for DIM, it was not enough to beat the mighty King of Cups.
In total during this season, the team led by former player David González has achieved 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats, thus occupying the seventh place in the BetPlay II League. For this Unión Magdalena vs Medellín, the concentration and leadership of experienced players such as Andrés Cadavid and Vladimir Hernández will play a key role.
Possible lineup Independiente Medellín: Andrés Mosquera; Juan Arboleda, Víctor Moreno, Andrés Cadavid, Germán Gutiérrez; Felipe Pardo, Adrián Arregui, Andrés Ricaurte, Vladimir Hernández; Luciano Pons, Diber Cambindo.
JefeBet Prediction
For this Union Magdalena vs Medellín clash, at JefeBet we believe there will be a draw. Both teams have had similar performances throughout the tournament and their rosters are in very similar conditions. Despite the fact that Union is the home team, at this stage of the championship it is no longer a guarantee of victory.
David González will put the best of his roster to press from the first minute and get at least a point as a visitor, which would be very valuable considering how close the standings are to the table.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
