Once Caldas
- Once Caldas have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 4 of their last 10 games in all competitions.
- They have drawn their last 2 matches, which suggests a stalemate is more likely than a clear home win.
- They lost their third Primera A 2026 game on the spin when they went down 1-3 at home to Atletico Bucaramanga.
- They followed that up with back-to-back draws against Inter Bogota.
- Hernan Herrera's side are a compact unit that build from the back with short passes and prefer to drag opponents wide before punching in through the middle.
- Their structure suggests they can take a tight, low-scoring victory here.

- That run includes a 2-0 home victory over Atletico Nacional and a 2-1 defeat away to Cucuta Deportivo.
