With the meeting between Pereira and Unión Magdalena, the curtain will open this Friday on date 18 of Liga Betplay I-2022, in which several teams wage a real pulse for a quota among the eight. Others, like América de Cali, arrive in need and could be eliminated early if they don’t win. Without a doubt, a day with a lot at stake.
Equity- Bucaramanga: Direct duel for a place in the next phase. The insurance team comes from beating Cortuluá and thanks to that result they got seventh in the table. However, only victory ensures his permanence among the eight, otherwise he will be compromised. In the height, the leopard does not make another account than to win, because that is the only way he gets into the conversation; he is just one point out of eighth.
This match will be on Saturday, at 2:00 pm, at the Metropolitano de Techo stadium.
Ind. Medellin vs National: The classic of the day, with an extra spice. DIM wants to ensure once and for all among the eight and what better way to do it than against his eternal rival, who is also looking for the top of the table. Julio Comesaña’s men arrive with 30 points, in fourth position.
This match will be on Saturday, starting at 4:05 pm, at the Polideportivo Sur stadium in Envigado.
Santa Fe vs. Jaguars: Both arrive with need and whoever gives up points will be able to say goodbye to their aspirations to qualify. The cardinal comes from losing in the classic with Millionaires and from dispatching his technician. With Agustín Julio as the coach in charge, he will have to look for the points that will keep them in the fight. Jaguares, with one point less than their rival (21), yes or yes they must win, because the tie at home against América left them suffering.
This match will be played at El Campín, on Saturday at 6:10 pm.
Eleven Caldas vs. Cali: The champion, without much to play for other than honor, so he will be a judge at the auction of the tournament. This time he will do it against ‘Blanco-Blanco’, eighth in the table with 25 points. Diego Corredor’s men depend on each other to maintain their position and they will have to win if they don’t want to put their classification at risk.
Match to be played at the Palogrande in Manizales on Sunday, starting at 2:00 pm.
America vs Oil Alliance: Another direct duel, to which América de Cali arrives with an artificial respirator. The oil tankers with the best chances add up to 23 points and are tenth, surpassing Santa Fe and Jaguares in points, they must win and wait for the fall of Once Caldas or Equidad, in addition to the setbacks of Bucaramanga, to sneak into the eight. The accounts of the ‘Red Devils’ are clear, if they want to aspire to qualify with 29 points, they must win everything that remains.
This duel will be played at Pascual Guerrero, on Sunday at 6:10 pm.
Junior vs. Envigado: Game that will be played on Sunday, at 8:15 pm, and that could deliver a new classified. The shark aspires to 3 points to ratify its place in the next phase, since a victory takes it to 32 points. Very close to Junior is Envigado, another one that is fighting to stay in the classification zone. A win leaves them one step away from securing their spot. A “sacachispas” duel in which neither wants to loosen up.
