A chess match in prospect as styles clash
Styles on display
Friday's late game between Llaneros FC and Deportivo Pereira should be a interesting matchup where the contest is won or lost based on which style of play comes out on top. Pereira are more of a possession-based side, while Llaneros have more of a vertical, quick hitting approach and are always dangerous on the counter attack.
Form and fitness
The hosts are in excellent nick across all competitions (W4, D3, L3) and they have been particularly good at home of late, where they are unbeaten in their last four starts (W2, D2) and have conceded a meager two goals (0.50).
Their visitors are in mixed form across all competitions (W3, D2, D5), but they have won consecutive games in their two most recent Copa Colombia 2026 outings, which is certainly a positive for Arturo Reyes' men. However, Pereira still await their first away win of the season and that road record is definitely a cause for concern when taking on a team like Llaneros, who have a knack for springing an upset in this fixture.
Llaneros can nick it
Nelson Gomez has really got Llaneros in a solid position since taking over in June 2025 and his side are compact, vertical and dangerous in transition. Reyes has made Pereira a more organised and modular team since his appointment in December 2025, with his side playing in a more controlled and structured manner.
- Llaneros are the superior team on the odds at 1.69 with Pereira 5.4 and the draw 3.4, but we're taking the hosts to earn something from this game based on their recent home form and recent head-to-head record against the visitors.
- However, it will be a tight contest, so we're also going with Under 2.5 goals and BTTS – No at 1.62 and 1.67, respectively.
- Llaneros have a good record against Pereira and can nick it on Friday, but the game will be tense, so we're keeping both teams on the same level with a 0-0 draw in the correct score betting.
