Millonarios
- Club Deportivo Los Millonarios have had a wretched start to Primera A 2026, taking 0 points from 3 matches and sitting at the bottom of the league table at the end of the first month of competition.
- Millonarios are winless in their only home game so far this Primera A 2026 season (1 loss).
- New coach Hernan Torres is trying to change the club’s identity, making Los Millonarios a more compact, disciplined unit that is better organised defensively, structured in their pressing phases and able to play in transition.
- Their last 5 games have seen a 1-2 home defeat to CD Junior de Barranquilla, a 2-1 loss away to Deportivo Pasto and a 0-0 draw at home to Independiente Medellin.
- This is a team that’s clearly struggling to create opportunities, scoring an average of 1.00 goals per home game so far.
- Rodrigo Contreras is Millonarios’ main goal threat, scoring 2 goals in 3 Primera A 2026 appearances, although he has also provided 50% of their goals across the last 5 games.
Deportivo Pereira
- Deportivo Pereira are 16th with 2 points from 3 matches.
- Deportivo Pereira will be a very different challenge to the aforementioned opponents, as coach Arturo Reyes has brought a pragmatic edge to the team since his appointment at the back end of 2025.
- Pereira are a high-energy, aggressive, pressing team that have no problem playing direct and vertical when they have to.
- Walmer Pacheco is the creator, already registering 1 assist in 3 games for the season, while Marco Perez is their targetman.
- Deportivo Pereira’s form has also been disappointing, with 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their last 5, although they have performed better on the road, where they are averaging 2.00 goals scored and 2.00 conceded.
- Deportivo Pereira have taken 1 draw from their sole away match, conceding 2 goals per away game.
