The Patriotas team arrives at this game after an important 1-2 derby victory against Boyaca Chico. It would even be Boyaca's team that started the match better, scoring in the 17th minute. However, from that moment on, the match would be dominated by the Patriotas team. The team had possession, but they were also unable to dismantle Boyaca's team, until 45+6', when they would eventually manage to convert a penalty and score the equalizer. In the 2nd half, it would be the opposite, with the Boyaca team dominating, taking advantage of the support of their fans to create greater offensive pressure. The team created more opportunities, but the best opportunities ended up belonging to the Patriotas team. And it would be the Patriotas team that scored the winning goal in the 80th minute. The Boyaca team would still apply a lot of pressure at the end of the game in search of a draw, but the Patriotas team would end up winning. With this result, the Patriotas team is in 19th place in the table, with 15 points, having finally left the last place in the table.

The Independiente Medellín team comes into this game after a surprising 1-0 victory against leaders Bucaramanga. Surprisingly, the entire match would be dominated from the outset by the Independiente Medellín team. The 1st half would be almost a one-way affair, with the Medellin team holding an incredible 71% of the ball and not allowing a single shot at their goal. Despite this, the Bucaramanga team demonstrated good defensive organization and also allowed very few opportunities to the Independiente Medellín team. In the 2nd half, the same dynamic would be maintained, with great superiority from the Independiente Medellín team. And the Medellín team ended up scoring a goal in the 67th minute, converting a penalty. With the goal conceded, the Bucaramanga team would end up exposing themselves more. Even so, his team's attack was not effective and the team would even end the game without any shot hitting the opponent's goal, ending up with 3 points by going to Medellin. With this result, the Independiente Medellín team is in 11th place in the table, with 22 points. In the last 5 league games the team has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats, having scored 16 goals and conceded 27. After a troubled start to the season, the team seems to be finding its feet and returning to its triumphs, quickly climbing the table.

In the last 5 games between these 2 teams, Patriotas has won 1, and Independiente Medellín has won 4. Goals were scored in all of those 5 games, with both teams scoring in 2 of those matches.

It’s a hard match to predict a winner in this matchup. Still, not many goals are expected.
