Deportes Tolima to Win
Although four of the last five head-to-head duels between Independiente Medellin and Deportes Tolima have ended without a winner, we don’t expect that to be the case here.
In fact, our prediction is for Deportes Tolima to win the game and start the process of defending their Apertura title with three points from the first round.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
Not many things back our prediction here. After all, Deportes Tolima averaged 1.90 goals per game in Clausura last season, while Independiente Medellin averaged a mere 1.45 goals per game last season, the worst average in Clausura.
That being said, three of the previous five h2h meetings between Independiente Medellin and Deportes Tolima have gone over 2.5 total goals and the teams averaged 3.00 goals per game in those five matches.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
The last five meetings between Independiente Medellin and Deportes Tolima have ended with both teams scoring a goal and we expect that tradition to continue on Sunday.
On the other hand, both teams scored in just 30% of all Independiente matches in Clausura last season, but the same thing happened in 45% of all Deportes Tolima games in the same competition.
Independiente Medellin vs Deportes Tolima preview: Derby of the round
Independiente Medellin
The winners of the belated 2020 Colombian Cup will play in Copa Sudamericana this season thanks to that feat, which was their second cup title in a row. In an case, Independiente Medellin had a solid season thanks to that win, otherwise it was not a great season for them since the team failed to reach the playoffs in both Torneo Apertura and Torneo Finalizacion.
Deportes Tolima
Winning Torneo Apertura last season was a big success for Deportes Tolima, but the team didn’t stop there and they were very close to winning Torneo Finalizacion as well. However, the team lost in the finals to Deportivo Cali, 3-2 on aggregate. Still, Deportes Tolima finished the season as the top team in aggregate standings and they secured a spot in group stages of Copa Libertadores.
