Struggling Deportivo Pereira will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying América de Cali in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Pereira have less rest than América de Cali in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa Colombia game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Tigres.

2 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Deportivo Pereira have to build on here at Estadio Hernán Ramírez Villegas in the Liga BetPlay. All in all it has been a very rough period for Pereira who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Boyacá Chicó, 254 days ago.

América de Cali are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Liga BetPlay against Deportivo Pasto (placed 4th). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Grêmio.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with América de Cali playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were four América wins, three draws and three defeats.
América de Cali find the net regularly in their away games. 8 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. América de Cali's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.
