Alianza Petrolera vs CD Jaguares Prediction: Alianza has Been Dominating Home Fixtures Recently

In the upcoming fixture of the Colombia Categoria A, Matchday 13, Alianza Petrolera will host CD Jaguares at the Municipal Football Stadium Daniel Villa Zapata in Barrancabermeja. According to the table standings of today, Alianza Petrolera stands 8th with 5 wins and 17 points, whereas Jaguares de Cordoba stands 15th with just 3 wins and 13 points from 12 matches played. The two teams last played against each other in July 2022, and CD Jaguares won (2-1). The competition is likely to go down the wire as the last couple of matches between the two were decided in the lateral phase of the second half. 

Going in the matchup, Alianza Petrolera is coming off an absolutely fantastic and encouraging win against Santa Fe (3-1), in which Pablo Bueno started the proceeding with the first goal in the 15th minute of play. Next, Harrison Mojica Betancourt and Ruben Manjarres scored goals in the 26th and 31st minute of play. In the first half of the play, Alianza ensured that they are winning from this point. Coach Hubert Bodhert will be looking to play with an unchanged side and register 2nd consecutive match at home. In the last five matches played, Alianza Petrolera has scored 7 goals, averaging 1.40 goals per game. Hence, Petrolera will likely score at least a goal or two against CD Jaguares in the upcoming outing. Against the scoring average, Alianza Petrolera has conceded just 2 goals in the last 5 matches, averaging 0.40 goals. Hence, scoring against Alianza will be tough for Jaguares.

Going in the matchup, Jaguares de Cordoba is coming off a win against Envigado FC (2-0), in which Pablo Rojas and Nelino Tapia scored goals. With the likes of Castano, Rodriguez, Guevara, and Melendez playing on the wing and defending the key positions. Jaguares are likely to neutralize Petrolera’s attack. In the last five matches played, CD Jaguares has scored three and conceded two goals. Hence, Jaguares might be playing with a balanced or defensive strategy upfront against Alianza Petrolera. Jaguares has scored in two of the last five matches, which hints at the probability of Jaguares failing to score. However, Jaguares will be relying on the likes of Duarte and Rojas to lead the attack.

Moving forward in the matchup, Alianza Petrolera will be starting as favorites as they have bagged three consecutive matches at home. Talking about the scoring, Petrolera will be looking to score at least two goals in order to consolidate their position on the points table. Secondly, the Jaguares are unlikely to score as they have scored just 3 goals in the last 5 matches. I am predicting a scoreline of 2-0 at the end of 90 minutes of play.

• Alianza Petrolera to Win for 2.25
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.53
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.69
