Once Caldas and Deportes Tolima to Draw
At the moment, Deportes Tolima and Once Caldas are third and fourth in the standings in Apertura, respectively. Deportes Tolima, who is the defending champion in Apertura, is ahead by just three points.
Although our initial instinct was to suggest a win for the guests since they are the better team on paper, Deportes Tolima only beat Once Caldas once in their last five h2 duels. With that in mind, a draw in this match sounds like the more realistic outcome.
Once Caldas and Deportes Tolima to Draw at Half Time
Since we don’t expect this game to have a winner at the end, we also expect Once Caldas and Deportes Tolima to be tied at half time, as is often the case for matches that end in a draw.
After all, three of the previous four h2h duels between Once Caldas and Deportes Tolima have been tied at half time, so we can see that being the case once again on Tuesday.

Once Caldas
After a great start of the new season in Primera A, Once Caldas slowed down a bit lately since they have two wins, two draws, and two losses in the last six games in Apertura. Despite this, the team is still fourth in the standings, which is a great result for them, and if they can make it to the playoffs that will be a real success for them.
Deportes Tolima
The defending champions of Apertura and the finalists of Clausura last season are going strong now as well. Deportes Tolima is currently third in the standings and they seem poised to make it to the playoffs once again, which is hardly surprising for a team that’s been doing great the last couple of seasons.
