Once Caldas and Independiente Medellin to Draw
Both teams have started the new season well – Once Caldas with five points, Independiente Medellin with six points from the first three rounds of Apertura.
So, this game could go either way, as is also evident from the recent h2h history between these two teams. With that in mind, our prediction is for the game to end in a draw.
Once Caldas vs Independiente Medellin 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 Independiente Medellin to draw at half time, as is often the case.
After all, three of the previous four h2h duels between Once Caldas and Independiente Medellin have been tied at half time and we can see that happening again on Saturday.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings between Once Caldas and Independiente Medellin and we would be surprised if that did not happen in their upcoming game as well.
In addition to this, both teams scored in all three Once Caldas matches in the league since the season started. However, we did not see both teams score in any of Independiente Medellin games in the first three rounds.
Once Caldas vs Independiente Medellin preview: A tough game to predict
Once Caldas
The team from Manizales started the new season well, with one win and two draws. That is a pretty great start for a team that was far away from making the playoffs in both tournaments last season. Even more impressive is the fact that two of those three games Once Caldas played away from home, including a surprising win over La Equidad in second round.
Independiente Medellin
After nearly missing out on playoffs in both Torneo Apertura and Finalizacion last season, Independiente Medellin is now on a good course of achieving it. Of course, it’s still way to early for those kinds of prognosis, but Independiente started the new season with a couple of wins and a loss, which is enough to place them in sixth spot in the standings despite other teams having played a game more than them.
