The Best Medellin vs Boyaca Chico Prediction and Picks

With three games to go until the Primera A playoff finalists are confirmed, all is still to play for when Medellin take on Boyaca Chico on Sunday morning. Ahead of the game, here are some free tips and predictions that might be worth considering.

Boyaca Chico to Win

After losing in the reverse fixture on Thursday morning, combined with Millonarios and America drawing, Medellin now have almost no chance of qualifying for the Colombina Primera A playoff. Boyaca Chico, on the other hand, are right back in the hunt and trail the group-toppers by just three points. With their tails up after the win on Thursday, we expect the away side to do the double over Medellin and put their fate well and truly in their own hands.

Under 2.5 Goals

The match on Thursday was an incredibly tight affair with both managers electing to play conservatively out of the fear of losing. In the end, the match was won in dramatic fashion when Wilmar Cruz sent the home fans wild with a stoppage-time winner. We expect Chico to once again play defensively in this one and frustrate the home side before springing attacks on the break. Given how both teams like to play, it would be a huge surprise to see more than two goals scored in this one.

Boyaca Chico to Score First

Medellin have now gone two games without a goal in Primera A and their forwards look devoid of all confidence. Although they will be buoyed by being back at home, we expect Boyaca Chico to use the momentum gained from the match on Thursday to their advantage to score the first goal of the game. Mario Garcia’s men have scored first in two of their last three games so recent history is well on their side in this one.

Medellin vs Boyaca Chico: All still to play for

Medellin

Last season’s runners-up have likely already accepted that their domestic season is all but done after defeat on Thursday. They trail Millonarios by six points with three games to go, which looks like too big of a mountain to climb. They are still fighting in the Copa Libertadores, though, which could mean that manager, Sebastian Botero, rests some his key players for this match to ensure they are fresh for the challenges ahead in the Copa.

Boyaca Chico

Boyaca Chico are still riding a wave that has taken them from promotion last season all the way through to the Colombian off-season this campaign. Although they ended the regular season on a winless run, the home victory against Medellin on Thursday will have given them a renewed sense of belief. They trail Millonarios by three points and a win here would give them a very real chance of going all the way. Expect Garcia to go unchanged for this one as he looks to build on the previous result.
