Atlético Bucaramanga
Bucaramanga has had moments in which the rival’s pressure has cost them goals; However, the forward can prevail with a goal when they go with intensity. Leopardo comes from three games without losing, the last three being only victories: at home against La Equidad (4-0) and Envigado (3-1), results that put them fourth in the Apertura. In addition, they passed the round in the Colombia Cup visiting Santander (3-4). It is noticeable that the team is looser when it comes to showing their football because they are attentive in the order of their lines, which makes the transitions from defense to attack good.
Golden Eagles
El Dorado has lost the large scoring quota that made them so happy last year. Lack of experience in dealing with disadvantaged situations is the main cause of this decline. In fact, they come from five games without winning, the last being at home against Santa Fe (1-1), results that put them 3 points away from the home run positions. Águilas needs to regain effectiveness up front since they have lost intensity in their lines.
