Medellin
- Medellin have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches.
- Medellin's response to a 4-1 away defeat against Vasco da Gama has been impressive with a 1-0 home win over Deportivo Cali and a 3-2 away win against Deportes Tolima in Primera A 2026.
- Luis Perea, who took over the team on 28 May 2026, appears to have kept the pressing, vertical game that Medellin play with a three-at-the-back base ticking over nicely.
Cucuta Deportivo
- Cucuta Deportivo have drawn 2 and lost 3 of their last 5.
- Richard Paez has been in charge of Cucuta Deportivo since 5 February 2026 and has turned the side into a compact, tough to break down unit that sits deep and counter-attack or look for set-piece chances.

- The last 3 games illustrate this well with two away defeats to Once Caldas and Fortaleza FC either side of a 1-1 draw at Atletico Bucaramanga in Primera A 2026.
