On the other hand, Deportes Tolima stands 11th with 4 wins and 18 points from 14 matches played. Deportes Tolima and Chico FC last played against each other in March 2021, and Chico FC won (2-1). The upcoming matchup will have Chico FC starting as a favorite. However, Deportes Tolima is certainly capable of turning the tables around. 

Going in the matchup, the consistent form of Boyaca Chico FC has shattered, as it has won just a match in the last five played. In the last four Categoria A matches, Chico has lost 2 and drawn 2. Hence, the upcoming home fixture will be an opportunity for Chico to consolidate and make a rise in the table standings. In the last outing against Chico FC, Eduard Banguero scored the all-important equalizer in the 67th minute of play.

With three consecutive defeats, pressure will be mounting on Hernan Torres. Deportes Tolima has scored at least a goal in 4 of the last 5 matches.
