Jaguares can make life tough for newly-promoted Cucuta
18th placed Jaguares de Cordoba have collected 15 points from their 18 Primera A 2026 fixtures so far, one point fewer than Cucuta Deportivo, who occupy 16th spot with 16 points from 18 games. Cucuta are just one point above Jaguares and have taken two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches, while the home side have one win, one draw, and three defeats from the same period.
Jaguares drew 2-2 away to Bucaramanga and lost 2-3 at home to Deportivo Pasto in their previous two matches, while Cucuta’s 1-1 draw at home with Junior FC last weekend followed a 5-0 mauling away to Santa Fe.
Jaguares can play more with patience and structure
CD Jaguares de Cordoba are starting to find their identity under the new direction of coach Hubert Bodhert, who took over the club in April 2026. His teams have always played with a high tempo and have pressed their opponents with a ferocity, but Bodhert is finding ways to incorporate some of the leftovers from that squad with his preference for compact lines, balanced defense and control of risk in the final third.
Bodhert’s men have won four, drawn one, and lost four of their nine home games in Primera A 2026, averaging 1.33 goals per game, but Cucuta can be a very difficult nut to crack, so a home win at 2.23 looks a bit steep to us.
Cucuta are built for disciplined possession
Richard Paez has had the opposite of Bodhert’s problem since taking over at Cucuta in February 2026. Paez has instilled the discipline needed to control the pace and tempo of the game and his team have been able to play staged pressing and vertical transitions while also keeping the ball on the ground.
They have failed to win in nine away trips, recording four draws and five defeats, and conceding 20 goals on the road.
Jaguares’ Andres Renteria has scored six goals in 15 Primera A 2026 appearances, while Cucuta’s Luifer Hernandez, with six in 17, will be the focus of attention for the home defense.

There should be chances at both ends
This should be an interesting tactical clash of two teams that are working on the same principles, but there are still enough differences to keep the game interesting and we are expecting both teams to find the net in this contest.
Cucuta won their last away head-to-head 2-1 in the Primera B Clausura 2025 and Jaguares have failed to win their two most recent home games against their guests, so we’ll take the Over 2.5 goals bet priced at 2.04.
