On Thursday, November 19, Pereira will face Independiente Medellín, in a match valid for the round of 32 of the Colombian Cup. The match will be played at the Hernán Ramírez Villega stadium, in the city of Pereira. The two teams are not having a good time in the season, leaving the game open, with possibilities for both teams. The visiting team is the current champion of the competition. This year the qualifying rounds of this phase will be played in a single match, so the qualification will be decided at the end of this match.
Pereira:
Pereira won their last victory in the Colombian Cup and since then they have only accumulated negative results. The team does not arrive in an ideal moment to this match, with a very weak record playing in their domains. But he will have to outdo himself, because the tie will be decided in one game and he will not have time for mistakes in these 90 minutes. Their attack has not had a good performance, something essential for a team that dreams of going further in the competition.
Medellín:
Independiente Medellín is the current champion of the Colombian Cup. But if he dreams of another title he will have to improve his recent performances. It shows itself as an unstable team, without maintaining a series of good results. World Cup matches contribute to teams seeking short-term recoveries and titles and may be the strategy adopted by the team in the future. It is the team’s only chance to achieve anything this year, as it is having a disappointing campaign in the Colombian championship.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,96
