Envigado locks horns with the Medellin giants in hopes of winning three points from this clash. Both sides approach the game with contrasting form, with The Orange Team settling for a recent stalemate and Los Rojos Paisa conceding defeat. In the previous five direct Head-to-head meetings - save the 0-0 stalemate, the predominant scoreline has been a 2-1 tag with The Paisa Reds claiming three victories. However, Envigado won in the last direct clash and despite the slight underpreference, would be hoping to replicate the previous victory.

The Reds opened and launched the Clausura on a mediocre note, tying it out against La Equidad in the 2-2 stalemate before the San Lorenzo embarrassment in the Sudanamericana. They lost 0-1 to Santa Fe shortly before the 1-0 victory over Junior FC. The team is tipped as favorites over Envigado and is expected to conclude the game with a narrow victory thrill, or a stalemate.
Envigado (16th)
Last Match: D-D-L
Envigado faces a similar, but worse fate in the closing group of games of the Categoria Primera. They lost to Bucaramanga in the opening group of games by conceding a 1-3 defeat at fulltime, then went on against the La Equidad and managed to squeeze a 1-1 stalemate. They pushed on and welcomed Union Magdalena in the third game, where they fell back to another 1-1 stalemate. In this game, they are tipped to settle another stalemate if they allow the pangs of redundancy to continue their course.
