Deportes Tolima
- Deportes Tolima are on a two-game draw streak, after they followed up a 1-0 defeat away to Once Caldas with a 1-1 home draw against America de Cali and a 2-2 draw away to Fortaleza FC.
- Tolima's recent form across all competitions looks mediocre on the surface with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last five, but their home record is better with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in their last 5 and they have averaged 1.00 goals per game scored and 0.80 conceded during that spell.
Boyaca Chicó
- Chicó's recent overall form of 3 wins and 2 defeats in their last 5 is stronger on paper than the hosts', but Jhon Gomez's men will surely park the bus and try to absorb pressure before counter-attacking on the counter in Saturday's game.
- The visitors will try to sit deep and frustrate the home side, but Chicó don't score enough goals away from home to have a chance here - 2 goals in their last 5 road games is very thin.

- We're going with the draw in the double chance bet as the most likely outcome of this clash at Estadio Murillo Toro, as Tolima have drawn their last two games and Chicó need to show their best form if they are to avoid defeat.

Prediction
- Deportes should control more of the ball and are likely to nick the win, but Chicó are a solid unit built around a compact 4-1-4-1 or narrow 4-4-1-1 structure, so this game could get tight.
- Back the hosts to nick it, but the low-scoring nature of their recent games points to this being a close game at 90 minutes.
