Betting tips and odds are provided below.

Patriotas had a brilliant performance whereby they were able to defeat Envigado with a score of 2-0 as they were dominant most of the time. Based on the balanced first thirty minutes and a marked lack of quality scoring opportunities the team decided to get their second half underway deciding to put pressure on. The first goal was registered by Borja who from an assist of Ruiz in the 56th minute opened the scoreboard after Melendez was so important in developing a play. From there the Patriot redeemed themselves by dominating the match. Then in the 85 th minute, Melendez again featured prominently to score the second goal which put more salt to the injury for the home team. Patriotas were left with 58% of the ball possession throughout the game having attempted 23 goals of which 3 had been shots on goal. The team had 13 attempts off target which was probably due to pressure from the defence, however it also had excellent defense as it was able to block 7 of the opponents attempts. Envigated attempted to respond but with 9 attempts at goal, only one was successful in barring the patriots’ active goal defense formation. In the first part the Patriots seemed to have sampled the flavor of higher control, pegged 57% possession and 12 shots at goal, though none of those struck the tin. The team of Envigado had only a clear opportunity. Second half was high pressure with 59% ball possession and 11 attempts, of which 3 of them were on target, while Envigado could only make a goal attempt. By means of this result the Patriots team is taking the 13th position in the table with 9 points. If one looks at the scores of the last five games played in the league the team cannot boast of high achievements scoring two wins, one tie, and two losses, with a record of goals of 9-13. In home games they have not lost the last four games held.
