Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Colombian Primera A match.
Deportivo Pasto
Deportivo Pasto narrowly missed securing a playoff spot, falling just one win short. The team recorded exactly 20 goals scored and 20 conceded over the regular season, resulting in a perfectly balanced goal difference. Instead of progressing to the semi-finals, the squad shifted focus to the early rounds of the Colombian Cup, where they did enough to advance to the next stage.
Deportes Tolima
Deportes Tolima enjoyed a stronger Apertura campaign, finishing fourth and advancing to the playoff group stage. However, they fell short in the race for the final, losing out to Independiente Medellín. Their recent fixtures have often seen goals at both ends – both teams scored in seven of their last eight matches, with the only exception being their latest outing.
Deportivo Pasto vs Deportes Tolima Prediction
Deportivo Pasto have also featured in several goal-filled encounters, with both teams scoring in four of their last six matches. Their head-to-head record with Deportes Tolima suggests a similar pattern: seven of their last eight meetings saw goals from both sides. A bet on both teams to find the net looks like a strong option here.
