Union Magdalena vs Millonarios Prediction: Millonarios Standing Tall in the Points Table Standings

In the upcoming fixture of Colombia Categoria A, Matchday 15, Union Magdalena will be up against Millonarios at the Estadio Sierra Nevada. Going in the matchup, the home side stands 18th with just 2 wins and 13 points from 13 matches played. On the other hand, Millonarios stands 2nd with 7 wins and 25 points from 12 matches played so far in the Categoria A. Millonarios and Union Magdalena last played against each other in August 2022 and Millonarios won (0-2). Millonarios defeated Union previous year in both home and away matches. Therefore, Millonarios will be starting as favorite against Union tomorrow.

Going in the matchup, Union Magdalena is coming off a close and unexpected defeat against Deportivo Cali (2-1), in which Ricardo Marquez scored the only goal for Union. Juan Angulo was sent off the field with a red card and will be missing out the match against Millonarios tomorrow. After losing to Deportivo Cali, Claudio Rodriguez will be looking to keep himself focused and escape any chances of relegation which are haunting them at the moment. With just 6 goals scored in the last 5 matches played, Union will be hoping to improve its scoring average. With the presence of Alexander Mejia and Jose Mercado in the lineup, Union will be pressing to attack.

With landscape changing every week, Millonarios has managed to keep itself consistent across all tournaments and fixtures. Going in the matchup against Union Magdalena, Millonarios is coming off a win against Club Atletico Penarol (0-2), in which Elvis Perlaza and Oscar Cortes scored goals. In the last outing of Categoria A, Millonarios settled for a draw against Atletico Huila (1-1), where even Oscar Cortes scored the opening goal. Coach Alberto Gamero will be confident for striking the net against Union and winning by a comfortable margin of at least 2 goals. In the last five matches played, Millonarios has scored 10 goals, averaging 2.00 goals per game. In comparison to this fantastic scoring average, Millonarios has only conceded 2 goals, averaging 0.40 goals per game.

Union Magdalena hasn’t been in top form in both home and away encounters this season. However, Union defeated Rionegro (3-1) and Tigres FC at home (1-0). But after those spectacular wins, Union has just been off-color. Hence, I am backing Millonarios to win the upcoming contest, extending the momentum from the continental phase forward. The match total is expected to be over 2.5 goals, and both sides to score as in 4 of the last 5 matches, Union has scored positively. I am predicting a final scoreline of 1-2 or 1-3 at the end of 90 minutes of play. 

• Millonarios to Win for 1.95
• Total Over 2.5 for 2.43
• Correct Score 1-2 for 7.5
