Deportivo Pereira
- Deportivo Pereira are winless in their last five Primera A 2026 matches (D3, L2).
- They are currently 18th on the table with 3 points from 6 games.
- They are yet to win at home in Primera A 2026 (D1, L2).
- Arturo Reyes has a big job on his hands to steady the team since taking charge in December 2025.
Deportivo Pasto
- Deportivo Pasto have taken two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five league matches (W2, D2, L1).
- They have 14 points from 7 matches and sit second on the Primera A 2026 table.
- Pasto's 1-0 away win at Llaneros FC was followed by a 1-1 home draw against Internacional de Bogota last time out.
- Jonathan Risueño has made a positive impact since taking over at Pasto in December 2025, stamping his pragmatic identity on the club in a short period of time.
- Pasto have been much better on the road than at home so far in 2026, registering two wins and one defeat from their three away matches in the current Primera A 2026.
Head-to-Head
- Deportivo Pereira play at home and have the recent history, having won two of the last three home head-to-head matchups.
- With Pasto’s 4-0 victory in the last head-to-head clash (Primera A Clausura 2025) still fresh in the memory, a more defensive approach could be the order of the day from Pereira, who will try to frustrate their opponents as much as possible.
Key Players
- Andrey Estupinan has been in fine form for Pasto this season, notching five goals in six league games, including two in his last three outings.
- Estupinan is their main scoring threat this weekend.
- Marco Perez has two goals in six Primera A 2026 appearances.
- Perez's main role in the 4-2-3-1 formation is to assist Pereira’s most creative player, Walmer Pacheco, who has registered two assists in five league games this season.
Betting Insights
- Pasto are the slight favorites with the sportsbooks, coming in at 2.72 compared to 2.76 for the home side, while the draw is priced at 2.92.
- Pereira have been woeful in front of goal at Estadio Hernán Ramírez Villegas, averaging just 0.67 goals per home match in the 2026 Primera A.
- Pasto are conceding 1.33 goals per away match and scoring 1 goal per away match, so the under 2.5 goals bet, priced at 1.5, looks to be a no-brainer in this matchup.
Prediction
The visitors have just enough about them to edge a tight match-up that could be decided by the quality of the tactical adjustments made by each manager.
