Deportivo Cali host Alianza Petrolera in a league game where the home side need points to hold on to top spot, while the visitors need points to climb out of the lower reaches of the table. It is a match where both sides have their own reasons to push forward. The hosts are in their best spell of the season, on a winning run and unbeaten in their recent games. Last time out at home they thrashed the opposition 3-0, after two more wins without conceding. Overall this season they have scored 17 and conceded 8 in 11 games. Alianza Petrolera, meanwhile, won 2-1 in their most recent match, but before that lost 1-4 at home. Their defence is clearly a problem when you look at the season as a whole, having conceded 21 goals in 11 games. The game is likely to play out with the home side dominating possession and pushing high up the pitch, while the visitors sit back in a block and wait for counter-attacks or set pieces. If the home side score first, the game will open up even more, but if the visitors hold out for a long time, it could become a match where the home side have to take more and more risks.
