Alianza Valledupar
- Alianza Valledupar have a strong home record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in the last 4 across all competitions.
- Since taking over as head coach on 1 September 2026, Alianza have looked fluid, high-energy and full of intent to dominate the ball and tempo and play players into channels from wide areas.
- Los Vallenatos are a team with a plan and Torres is instilling a structure to them defensively as well.
Llaneros FC
- Llaneros FC have lost all 5 away matches.
- Llaneros FC have conceded 11 goals in 5 away matches.
- Llaneros have been less structured in their approach since Nelson Gomez took over as coach on 1 June 2025 and they are more of a compact, transition-based side with a 4-2-3-1 system that can sit deep in 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 shapes to clog the midfield and invite pressure onto themselves.
- They are in a bad place to travel to Valledupar with 5 straight defeats on the road, but they did make a mark on last week's game with the 3-2 win.
Head-to-Head
- The home side have won 2 of the 3 meetings so far in Primera A 2026 with Llaneros having earned a point from 2 defeats and a draw.
- This is usually a tight matchup with little between the two teams, as was the case when they played out a 0-0 draw at Llaneros' home 6 months ago.
Key Players
Misael Martinez , who has scored 2 of Alianza's 4 goals in the past 5 matches, looks the best anytime goalscorer selection to nick a goal in what is likely to be a cagey game.
Betting Insights
Alianza Valledupar are favorites with the bookmakers at 2.22 , ahead of the draw at 3.15 and Llaneros FC at 3.3 for Monday's Primera A 2026 clash at Estadio Armando Maestre Pavajeau.
Prediction
- They have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 in their last 5 and have lost their last two, so we will take them to edge out a low-scoring win.
- The under 2.5 goals option is tempting at 1.65, but we will stick with the home team here as this is usually a tight matchup with little between the two teams, as was the case when they played out a 0-0 draw at Llaneros' home 6 months ago.
