Boyaca Chico FC vs America de Cali Prediction: Both Teams Looking to Stick to the Basics and Win

In the upcoming fixture of Colombia Categoria A, Quadrangular Group B fixture, Boyaca Chico FC will take on America de Cali at the Estadio La Independencia in Tunja. With Millonarios and Medellin producing a draw the previous day, Chico and America de Cali will be looking to win and secure three win points. The two teams last played against each other in April 2023, and the match resulted in a draw. Continue reading to find out more about the upcoming matchup. 

Going in the matchup, Boyaca Chico FC is coming off a draw against Deportivo Cali (0-0), in which Chico FC got slightly defensive and secured the ball possession of just 39%. Though Chico had 5 shots on target, the matchup couldn’t produce much success for them. With the likes of Gomez, Pena, and Balanta in the lineup, Jhon Gomez and his boys will be looking to make the most of the home game against Cali. The current match form of Boyaca Chico FC isn’t quite convincing as the team has failed to win in the last five matches played. Moreover, Chico has settled for 4 draws and has lacked in scoring heavily. With just 2 goals scored in the last five matches played, Chico averages 0.40 goals per game. Hence, the pressure will be on the hosts to score and take the lead against America de Cali. 

As we steered towards the final match days of the Apertura season, we observed multiple upsets. In the last outing, America de Cali lost to Bucaramanga (2-1), in which Luis Sanchez took responsibility and scored the first goal of the match. However, the defenders of Cali gave it all away as Bucaramanga scored in the 19th and 54th minute of play. With the likes of Mosquera, Sanchez, and Contreras leading the attack, the visitors will be looking to maximize and play according to their strengths. America de Cali has produced 2 wins, 2 defeats, and a draw in the last five matches played. Talking about the scoring, America de Cali has scored 9 goals in the last five outings, averaging 1.80 goals per game. In comparison to the scoring average, Cali has conceded 6 goals, averaging 1.20 goals per game. 

Comparing the two sides on paper and evaluating their goal-scoring and conceding averages, I am backing America de Cali to win. With at least a goal scored in 4 of the last 5 matches played, Cali is likely to score against Chico. On the other hand, Chico is struggling with its recent match form. Therefore, I am expecting only Cali to score and the match total to be under 2.5 goals. 

• Total Under 2.5 for 1.66
• America de Cali to Win for 2.75
• Both Teams to Score - No for 1.83
