Millonarios arrives at the meeting this Thursday, against Deportes Tolima in El Campín, with a double obligation: to win the three points that balance things in the B quadrangular and keep alive the illusion of the Betplay League final, and defeat the disbelievers, those who supported by statistics fear that the antecedents will end up prevailing.
Those many who today would like to see the Blues defeated, will use arguments of all kinds, the first one associated with a ‘paternity’ of the Tolima team: Millonarios has not been able to beat them in their last four home games, reporting 2 draws and two defeats. Yes, true, but it must also be said that, before that, he had won six consecutive games against the ‘vinotinto’. We would have to appeal to that memory.
But there is more: Millonarios has won only one of their last five home runs: they have 2 draws and two losses, and that is a trend that will have to change now, this Thursday, without further delay.
Any other injuries to the blue heart? Sadly yes: Millonarios is the team with these home runs that has missed the most points from advantageous situations (5), although none of them have been in El Campín. Yes, well, to get to those numbers you have to get to the home runs, those in blue will say, but it is worth recognizing that there is a difficulty in these final instances in recent years.
As if that were not enough, Tolima is one of those teams in the League that perfectly fits the height and cold of Bogotá: it has won its last three away games in the definitions of the Betplay League, to the point of having a tremendous average of 2.7 goals per game.
And that is the mess that Millionaires need to solve before their people, who will fill the highest stage in the capital to the brim. Take advantage of his always offensive proposal but with much-needed adjustments in his posterior area, which with his tools and despite his limitations, has given good news on other occasions. It will be a fight against the rival and against the antecedents. And Gamero knows that this time, more than ever, he is forbidden to fail.
