America de Cali vs Jaguares de Cordoba Prediction: Not an Easy Outing for Jaguares

In the upcoming fixture of the Colombia Categoria A, Matchday 11, America de Cali will be hosting Jaguares de Cordoba at the Estadio Pascual Guerrero in Cali. Going in the matchup, America de Cali stands 3rd with 6 wins and 20 points. On the other hand, Jaguares de Cordoba stands 16th with just 2 wins and 9 points. America de Cali has shown reasonable improvement and consistency this season, which is the reason why it is topping the charts. The last time these two sides played against each other, the match resulted in a draw (1-1). Both encounters in 2022 were a draw, which is why few enthusiasts will be anticipating a draw tomorrow. 

Going in the matchup, America de Cali is coming off a draw against Deportivo Cali (1-1), in which Iago Falque gave America de Cali a decent start in the 34th minute of play. Edwin Velasco was on point with the assist made for securing the lead. Coach Alexander Guimaraes will be confident for the upcoming home outing, as Cali has won 80% of its home matches so far in the season and averages 1.80 goals at home. With a wide-open formation of 4-2-2-2, Cali is likely to extend its natural gameplay against Jaguares. America de Cali has scored 5 goals in the last 5 matches played, averaging 1.00 goals per game. Moving forward, the upcoming contest might not be a high scoring one; hence, I believe Cali will be relying on the likes of Adrian Ramos and Facundo Suarez as well.

Going in the matchup, Jaguares de Cordoba is coming off a win against Lianeros FC (1-0) in the Colombia Cup round 2 fixture. Kleimar Mosquera scored the only goal of the match at the half-time whistle for Jaguares. Apart from the performance in the Colombia Cup, Jaguares is currently struggling in Categoria A, which also makes them unfavorite for tomorrow. With just a draw and three defeats in the last 4 matches in Categoria A, Jaguares is likely to struggle against America de Cali. Moreover, Jaguares has scored only three goals in the last 5 matches, averaging only 0.6 goals. With this under par goal scoring average, winning the match seems unrealistic and impossible. 

When playing away from home this season, Jaguares averages 0.50 goals, which clearly highlights their poor attacking or forward gameplay. Hence, America de Cali will be standing as the favorite for winning and scoring at least 2 goals. I am predicting a one-sided scoreline of 2-0 at the end of 90 minutes of play. 

• America de Cali to Win for 1.57
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.72
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.69
