This meeting will take place on Date 19 of Apertura Tournament of the First A of Colombia 2024. This is the final date of the regular phase! Who will win?
Atlético Bucaramanga
Bucaramanga has shown the ability to prevail and score goals when they play with intensity, despite constantly facing pressure from the rival. So far, Leopardo comes from two victories as a visitor: against Fortaleza (0-2), which placed them in second place in the Apertura and classified for the home runs for the title, and against Patriotas (0-3) , which allowed them to advance to the next phase of the Colombia Cup. There is an improvement in the team, which is looser on the field and has improved the order of its lines, facilitating transitions from defense to attack.
Valledupar Alliance
Alianza is struggling to find a balance between the various tournaments it participates in, which is affecting its performance in the Colombian Apertura, where it is currently in second-to-last position. The team has experienced a series of negative results, with three defeats in the last four games. The most recent was a home defeat against Católica (1-3) in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, where they have only added 1 point so far. On the other hand, Valledupar sometimes has difficulties facing more intense teams, which can compromise its defense and affect its results.
