Cucuta Deportivo
- In 12 Primera A 2026 games, Cucuta Deportivo have picked up just seven points and sit 19th in the standings, while Boyaca Chico occupy the position directly above them, having recorded 8 points from the same number of matches.
- Cucuta boss Richard Paez has maintained a relatively pragmatic style since taking over in February, attempting to keep possession and build attacks vertically rather than playing too many passes.
- With this in mind, Paez has steadied the ship a little at Cucuta, who have recorded one win, one draw, and three defeats in their last five games, the latest being a 2-2 draw away to Llaneros FC.
Boyaca Chico
- Jhon Gomez, who replaced his recently departed predecessor in February 2026, has made his Chico team hard to break down by sitting deep and keeping things very compact, but his ultra-cautious approach has limited his team’s own attacking output.
- Gomez’s side have won one, drawn one, and lost three of their last five, with their most notable result coming in the middle of that run when they beat Millonarios 2-1 at home.
- Chico are yet to record a victory in Primera A 2026 away from home, losing five and drawing one.
Key Players
- Boyaca Chico are winless on the road in Primera A 2026 (D1, L5), scoring 2 goals in 6 games.
- Luifer Hernandez has netted 5 goals in 11 Primera A 2026 matches for Cucuta.
Betting Insights
- Their poor attacking return away from home, coupled with Cucuta’s home form, makes a home win seem likely, and the odds reflect that with Cucuta available at 1.75.
- However, the 1.74 price on Both Teams to Score - No makes us doubt the away side’s ability to find the net.
Prediction
With that in mind, the 2.12 price on Total Score Over 2.5 makes it through, and we’re going for a lively game that should see both teams hit the net.
