The 2022 BetPlay League will enter its final stage, leaving just five days to define the qualifiers. In another table, the one that nobody would want, but it is a reality. The descent will begin to decant the clubs that will not continue in the first.
Patriotas is one of the clubs that is in the fight to maintain the category, along with Cortuluá and Unión Magdalena, to continue in the League in 2023.
According to information from the program El Vbar de Caracol Radio, the cast from Boyacá will ask Dimayor to suspend relegation for this season, leaving 2023 with 22 clubs in the first division.
According to what was stated by the journalist Diego Rueda, there are several points where they are justified, for the controversial request. Among them, inequality, by having the relegation format change for this season, leaving them exposed, compared to clubs like Unión Magdalena.
In addition, they allege that Cortuluá had one more duel at home, which for them, would lead to an imbalance in the configuration of the fixture. Another item to support his argument is the use of VAR in the Independencia stadium. The technological tool has suffered from several failures during Patriots games.
The boyacenses will have a crucial match against Unión Magdalena, on date 15, being a direct match for the aspirations of permanence in the first division.
