Boyaca Chico FC vs Alianza Petrolera Prediction: Boyaca Featuring After the Win in the Primera Nacional B

In the upcoming fixture of the Colombia Categoria A, Apertura Matchday 1, Boyaca Chico FC will take on Alianza Petrolera at the Estadio La Independencia in Tunja. Boyaca Chico FC has earned a well-deserved spot in the Colombia Categoria League A after winning the Primera B Championship against Atletico Huila. Alianza Petrolera on the other hand, featured last in the Colombia Categoria A, will look to outclass the opposition. However, Boyaca looks much more impressive and warmed-up at home. The last time these two sides played, Chico FC won 2-0. 

As the recent stats suggest, Boyaca Chico FC has won four of its last five games played. In the final of the Primera B Championship, Wilmar Cruz scored the only goal of the final contest. This time around, Boyaca Chico will look to avoid any sorts of risks involved and focus on staying in the league A fixtures. With the likes of Daniel Soto, Agustin Aleo, Victor Perea, and Galileo Del Castillo in the side for the A league, Boyaca are backing themselves. The above-mentioned reinforcements will bring the team a boost and energy, promoting junior players in the circuit. For the upcoming contest, Boyaca is likely to press on with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with a clear intent of registering a win in the first game. With a goal scoring average of 1.2 goals per game in the last 5 games, Boyaca will look positive and might score a goal or two upfront.

Though Alianza Petrolera’s previous season was a turmoil, coach Hubert Bodhert is confident with new reinforcements providing stability to the squad. Certainly, the pressure of the opening game will be on the away side, and to tackle that Alianza Petrolera has seasoned players in the lineup. Pedro Franco, Brayan Blandon, Juan Pablo Patino, Nikolas Rodriguez, Juan Diego, Ceballos, Mateo Rodas, and Juan Jose will feature in the lineup. Compared to Boyaca, Alianza has a decent goal scoring average of 1.4 goals per game, which is why they are likely to score early in the contest. However, their away form is consistently towards a decline, as they haven’t won a single away fixture in the last 6 away games.
