With the group stage of the 2023 Copa Libertadores ending this week, we could be in for an exciting finish in Group F as Colo Colo meet Deportivo Pereira.
The game will be played at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano and the hosts are currently bottom of the group on 5 points while the visitors are in second place on 7 points.
Colo Colo come into the match having lost 1-0 at Boca Juniors in their most recent fixture, which was played in the Copa Libertadores.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 55th minute and the defeat means Colo Colo have left themselves with some work to do if they want to qualify for the knockout stages.
The defeat at Boca Juniors means Colo Colo have failed to win any of their 4 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
In addition to the loss at Boca Juniors, there was a home defeat in the Chile Primera Division to Curicó Unido plus two draws, one at Unión Española in the Primera Division and the other at Monagas in the Copa Libertadores.
Trends show Colo Colo have achieved just 1 win in their last 9 Copa Libertadores games. They have seen under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 5 Copa Libertadores fixtures and have lost 3 of their last 4 home matches in the competition.
Deportivo Pereira travel to the Estadio Monumental David Arellano on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Monagas in the Copa Libertadores.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 19th minute from the penalty spot and it was a disappointing defeat for Deportivo Pereira as a win would have sealed a place in the next round.
The loss at Monagas was the first defeat in 6 matches in all competitions.
There have been wins over Independiente Medellín at home and Deportivo Pereira away in the Columbian Primera A plus 1-0 home wins over Monagas and Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores.
There was also a 0-0 draw at Junior in the domestic league.
Trends show Deportivo Pereira are undefeated in 3 of their last 5 Copa Libertadores matches. However, they have lost their only 2 away games they have played in their history of being in the competition.
Team news and Colo Colo are likely to go with a similar starting XI from the game at Boca Juniors, meaning Damian Pizarro and Marco Bolados in attack. There could be one change in the wide positions with Jeyson Rojas coming into the team.
Deportivo Pereira are expected to play with three at the back and Maicol Medina as the holding midfielder. Arley Rodríguez should start in attack along with Ángelo Rodríguez.
Both teams need to win to secure a place in the knockout stages but Deportivo Pereira are in the most advantageous position. A draw would likely be enough for them to progress but they have been the better team in this group and could come away with a narrow 1-0 victory.
