Boyaca Chico FC vs Independiente Medellin Prediction: Boyaca Shouldn’t be Expecting an Easy Win

In the upcoming fixture of the Colombia Categoria A, Matchday 8, Boyaca Chico FC will take on Independiente Medellin at the Estadio La Independencia in Tunja. According to the table standings of today, Chico FC stands 4th with 3 wins and 10 points, whereas Independiente Medellin stands 10th with just 2 wins and 8 points. The upcoming matchup will be a challenge for the visitors as they are currently involved in Libertadores qualification round 3. A win against Chico will boost their confidence before hosting Magallanes in Colombia for the second leg. Going in the matchup, the two teams last played against each other in February 2021, and Medellin won (1-0). In the last couple of matches, Medellin has dominated Boyaca Chico FC; however, for tomorrow’s game, the odds are likely to reflect a draw. 

Boyaca Chico FC - Coming off a Defeat Against Atletico Huila (LDLDW)

Atletico Huila finally got off the mark, as Boyaca Chico lost a high-scoring game (3-2) in which Sebastian Tamara and Frank Lozano scored goals. With 6 goals scored in the last 3 matches of Categoria A, Boyaca Chico will look to stay consistent with the scoring average and bag at least 2 goals. However, scoring against Medellin will require consistency and agility in Chico’s attack. With the likes of Angelo Pena, Jacobo Pimentel, and Delvin Alfonso in the lineup, Boyaca Chico FC will be prepared to produce a competitive result. One of the most encouraging stat for Boyaca Chico up to this point is that they have won three of the last 4 matches played at home this season. 

Expected Opening Lineup for Boyaca Chico FC

Rogerio Caicedo; Agustín Aleo, Henry Plazas, Galileo Del Castillo, Eduard Banguero; Geimer Romir Balanta, Angelo Peña, Frank Lozano, Sebastián Támara; Félix Chaverra, Brayan Moreno.

Independiente Medellin - Coming off an Important Draw Against Magallanes (DWWWD)

Going in the matchup, Independiente Medellin is coming off a hard-fought draw in Libertadores qualification against Magallnes (1-1). Emerson Batalla scored the only goal for Medellin in the 70th minute of play. For the upcoming Categoria A matchup, Medellin might induct a few new faces in the starting lineup. With an unbeaten run in the last five matches played, Medellin is looking to stay consistent and register a win against Boyaca. A win in Categoria A will not only improve their standings but also give confidence ahead of the Libertadores matchup. Medellin has scored 9 goals in the last five matches, averaging 1.9 goals per game. Therefore, I believe Independiente Medellin will stand as the favorite for winning.

Expected Opening Lineup for Independiente Medellin

Andrés Mosquera; Jhon Palacios, Víctor Moreno, Andrés Cadavid; Jordy Monroy, Daniel Torres, Andrés Ricaurte, Daniel Londoño, Felipe Pardo, Ever Valencia; Luciano Pons.

Though Boya Chico FC is doing quite well in the Categoria A and has won three of its last 4 matches at home this season, Medellin will stand in the way of Boyaca winning.
