- Scoring: Boyaca Chico are averaging 1.80 goals per home game in all competitions (9 scored).
Boyaca Chico have been the most consistent
Boyaca Chico have had a decent spell of form in all competitions with 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats across their last 10 matches. However, their most recent Primera A 2026 matches have been a mixed bag, drawing 1-1 at home with Fortaleza FC and losing 1-2 at home to Deportes Tolima, so the pressure is on the hosts to get on top on Thursday.
Jhon Gomez has been in charge of Boyaca Chico since 20 February 2026 and has moulded a compact, but explosive unit that will sit back and look to break with numbers through the middle third. They've been effective when getting bodies forward and will look to play at pace here, they are usually deployed in a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 system and are unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 at home (W4, D0, L1).
Alianza Valledupar have been less consistent since Camilo Ayala took over on 20 February 2026, however, they have been competitive across their 10 games (W3, D3, L4). Their most recent Copa Colombia 2026 outing was a 4-0 home victory against Atletico Cali F.C. following a 2-2 draw away to Club Deportivo Los Millonarios and a 0-1 home defeat to Llaneros FC.
A scrappy affair with a few opportunities
Tactical battle
Both of these teams are structured, but Alianza are more shape-shifting, they have used a back-three and back-five, sitting deep and looking to spring their wingbacks forward in structured counters. The visitors will want to slow the game down and try to take the space off Boyaca Chico, who prefer tempo and verticality, so the tactical matchup could be an interesting one.
Betting and predictions
- Boyaca Chico are the form favorites and rightly so at 2.57, ahead of Alianza at 3.12 and the draw at 2.75, however, the spread is too narrow here given the head-to-head, so it's a pass on the odds.
- Boyaca Chico should get the win, but the last meeting finished 1-1, 6 months ago here in Primera A 2026, and Alianza have failed to win either of the other 2 away games since against Boyaca Chico in all competitions, so it should be a close and cagey game.
- Under 2.5 goals is the play at 1.4, it fits the profile of the game, which should be low on tempo.
- Both teams to score is slightly skewed towards the No at 1.65, so a team might end up being boxed in.
