America de Cali
- America de Cali have made a perfect start to Primera A 2026, sitting second with 6 points after 2 games, and have looked especially strong on their own patch.
- A 3-0 victory over Inter Bogota has seen them average 3.00 goals per game at home so far, and with players such as Yeison Guzman (2 goals in 2 Primera A 2026 games) always ready to punish opponents in the box, they’ll be a handful again on Friday.
Once Caldas
- Once Caldas sit just below them in 9th, picking up 3 points from their opening game, which was a thrilling 2-1 win away to Cucuta Deportivo.
- Herrera’s structure, which focuses on structure over personnel and creates a platform to build from, can be very effective away from home.
- They’re compact, build up slowly and don’t mind taking the odd set-piece route for their chances.
- In Dayro Moreno, who’s scored 2 goals in Primera A 2026 and half of Once Caldas’ goals in their last 4 outings, they have a focal point and in Kevin Tamayo, a creative spark who grabbed an assist on his first league appearance of the campaign.
Head-to-Head
- The last 5 meetings between these clubs are level at 2 wins apiece and 1 draw.
- Once Caldas have failed to win on any of their prior 3 trips to Cali.
Key Players
- Yeison Guzman (2 goals in 2 Primera A 2026 games)
