An important duel in the bottom section of the Liga BetPlay, with both Patriotas Boyacá and Deportivo Pereira experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 17th place.
The hosts Patriotas saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Liga BetPlay. That game was an away game at Alianza Petrolera, so at least Patriotas are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
