Betting tips and odds are provided below.

In the match between Millonarios and Jaguares de Córdoba the score remains at zero (0-0). However, the home team Millonarios was simply too dominant in this match creating 27 shooting opportunities and controlling 72% of the match’s possession but the Jaguares possessed disciplined defensive formation that prevented the home side from scoring. The away team was much shier and only managed to have three shots in the entire match with none of them inviting the goalkeeper. In the first half Millonarios had ensured that they were definitely the greater side with 71% possession and 9 shots attempted though only 4 were actual on target. Jaguares tried one shot on goal only, and that was not dangerous at all to the Millonarios defence line. The second half also had the same tactic where Millonarios increase the pressure even more. The home team tried attacking the rivals’ gates 18 times but once more the Jaguares lacked accurate shooting and tenacity in defense that led to a scoreless game. At the same time, the away team performed well to ensure they did not allow Millonarios to score goals through such attacks. Nevertheless, it should be noted the superiority of Millonarios on the field but the lack of goals scored which was one of the causes of the final draw. With this result, Millonarios is in 8th place in the table with 15 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with a record of 13 goals scored and 9 goals conceded. The team has not lost any of the last 4 league games.

Recently Envigado hosted Once Caldas and the home team left the pitch as a loser with a scoreline of 1-0 drawn in a match that was tight as it produced few first half-chances. Again the only goal of the match was obtained in the 84th minutes through a penalty kick by Moreno which enabled the visitors to get the full three points. The first half was a rather tense affair, with neither side being able to create very many goal scoring chances. Envigado had 46% possession of the ball and tested the opposition goalkeeper four times but with little real danger and two attempts on target. In contrast, Once Caldas took 54% of the available space and completed seven strikes on the rival’s goal, yet only one was threatened. More was expected of them because the match started and the first half of the game was almost emotionless and at the break, it was 0-0. The second half was slightly better and Envigado were able to have majority of the ball possession, 44%, and attempted six shots at goals. Goals, as it was in the first half, were the problem with the home team, which had only two attempts and scored from the line. On the other hand Once Caldas were more efficient so they dominated ball possession for 56% and also finished twice on target more – one of them a winning goal from a penalty kick by Moreno in the 84th minute. In the end, the attempt by Envigado to make a comeback was in vain as they failed to alter the score. With this result, Envigado are in 20th place in the table with 5 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 draws and 3 losses, with a record of 4 goals scored and 13 goals conceded. They are currently the second worst attack in the league.

In the last 5 games between these 2 teams, Millonarios has won 2, and they drew another 3. Goals were scored in 4 of those 5 games, with both teams scoring in 3 of those matches.
