Boyaca Chico
- Boyaca Chico are unbeaten in their last two home games (Won 1, drawn 1).
- Chico’s recent form is poor (W1, D1, L3), but that 1-0 home win came against Deportivo Pereira 11 days ago, while their 5-0 defeat away to Bucaramanga came just a day ago.
- The Tunja-based outfit are solid at home this season with three wins, one draw and three defeats, and have conceded just five goals in their seven outings at the Estadio La Independencia.
- Jhon Gomez, who took charge in February 2026, has also had a positive impact at Chico, where his pragmatic team tends to set up in a compact, risk-averse shape.
- The Boyaca Chico manager’s side can be tough to break down when they are organised in their 4-2-3-1 shape, but they do carry some threat on the break and from set-pieces.
Deportivo Cali
- Chico are 19th in Primera A 2026 after taking just 11 points from their 15 games so far, while the visitors are 8th on 23 points and are still making a push for a playoff spot.
- Rafael Dudamel has done a good job in his second stint at Cali since taking over in March 2026, where he is known for bringing structure and sharpness in transition to the team.
- Deportivo Cali are a well-balanced side with a hybrid 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 system, a solid backline, organized pressing and the ability to hit teams on the counter.
- Cali are difficult to trust at the moment as they have only won two and lost four of their seven away games in Primera A 2026 (drawn one), while Boyaca Chico are also unreliable with their home results this season.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting between these two sides ended 0-0 in the Primera A Clausura 2025.
Key Players
Chico’s top scorer Italinho has hit three goals in 11 Primera A 2026 appearances, so he is the man to watch for the home side, while Deportivo Cali’s leading scorer Steven Rodriguez , with six in 13 , has scored two of the team’s last four goals and will be a constant threat up front.
Betting Insights
Both Teams to Score - No at 1.73 is a solid play here as neither side will give the other much to work with and at least one clean sheet is likely in what could turn into a tactical chess match between Chico’s deep block and selective pressing against Cali’s well-organized transitions and situational pressing.
Prediction
Boyaca Chico and Deportivo Cali could well cancel each other out in a tight game in Tunja this Saturday, with the most likely outcome being a draw and at least one shutout on the scoreboard.
