Cortuluá Deportivo Pasto betting prediction

This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 19^th position and got the promotion. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Primera A, they got an away loss against Envigado by (1‑0). In the last 10 home matches Cortuluá has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Team founded in 1967 is of the city of Tuluá, plays at home in the stadium Doze of October with capacity for 16 thousand people, was champion of B series of the Colombian championship in the year of 1993 and 2009. Last year they made two very distinct leagues one after another in the Apertura league was good, but in the Finalização League it performed very weak and finished in the penultimate place with the same amount of points as the last one.
In the Open tournament they were in eighth place with 31 points, 8 wins, 7 draws, 5 losses, scored 29 goals, conceded 23 goals and a positive balance of +6 goals. In the Finishing tournament they finished in the nineteenth place with 14 points, 3 wins, 5 draws, 12 losses, scored 22 goals, suffered 34 goals and a negative balance of -12 goals.
They finished last season in a bad way with the scenario of 6 games played, had 1 tie and 5 losses, causing a great concern in the technical committee, because if they cannot improve their quality in the field they will be a candidate for relegation this year. Therefore, in their preseason, a lot of focus was required on the positioning, especially in the defensive sector, understanding that improving this sector of the field, the team will once again have the good quality it presented in the first half of last year.
