In the upcoming fixture of Colombia Categoria A, Atletico Huila will take on Millonarios at the Estadio Guillermo Plazas Alcid in Neiva, Huila. According to the table standings of today, Millonarios stands at the top of the points table with 7 wins and 24 points from 11 matches played. Atletico Huila stands 15th with 4 wins and 13 points and is likely to improve as the contest progresses further. Millonarios and Huila last played against each other in September 2021, and Millonarios won (3-1). Huila last defeated Millonarios in 2018, and since then, it has been Millonarios all the way. Considering the present points table situation, the upcoming matchup is likely to have an interesting matchup between the two. 

In the last outing of Categoria A, Huila lost to Rionegro Aguilas (2-1), in which Marcus Vinicius scored the important equalizer in the 44th minute of play; however, Diego Valdes’ goal in the 84th minute sealed the deal for Rionegro. In the last match, Vinicius, Diaz, and Gil were spot-on with individual performances. However, the effort wasn’t enough to win the match. When playing at home, Atletico Huila has scored with an average of 1.00 goals in the last 10 matches. Compared to the scoring average, the conceding average is 1.90 goals. Hence, Huila will have to improve its defense and minimize the scoring from the other end. In the last five matches played, Huila has conceded 4 goals at an average of 0.80 goals. Hence, Huila will be looking to score and keep up with the scoring.

Going in the matchup, Millonarios is coming off a win against Independiente Medellin (2-1), in which Oscar Cortes and Jader Valencia scored goals. The win over Independiente was a motivating one for Millonarios as they secured the top spot in the points table. Millonarios had 8 shots on target and 68% possession in the last outing against Medellin, which is why Millonarios is likely to keep attacking in the upcoming fixture. With 4 wins and a draw in the last five matches played, Millonarios has shown consistent performances. When playing away from home, Millonarios has scored an average of 1.50 goals in the last 10 matches. Secondly, Millonarios has conceded an average of 1.00 goals. With an unbeaten run in the last five matches and 10 goals scored, Millonarios will be starting favorites against Huila.

With a goal-scoring average of 2.00 goals in the last five matches, Millonarios is likely to score at least 2 goals.
