Betting tips and odds provided below.

Independiente Medellin (WWDWD)

Two of the best teams faced each other in round 17 as Atletico Nacional and Independiente Medellin went H2H but Medellin was the more clinical of both sides and grabbed a 1-2 win. After some moments of testing each other's defenses in the first half, Medellín took the lead in the 33rd minute through Luciano Pons. Daniel Torres passed the ball to him in the center of the box and he hit a right footed shot to the bottom left corner. Atletico Nacional was forced to make a tactical substitution three minutes later with Yair Mena coming in for Alvaro Angulo. Atletico Nacional equalized in the 59th minute through a goal from Dorlan Pabon. Jefferson Duque passed the ball to him outside the box and he laced it into the top right corner. However, in the 75th minute, Cristian Zapata conceded a handball inside the penalty area. Daniel Torres took the resulting PK and converted it with a right footed finish. Independiente Medellin are unbeaten in their last five league matches, winning three and drawing two. They've scored ten goals (2 each for the five matches) and conceded five across the five matches.

Deportivo Pereira (WDWLL)

Deportivo Pereira scored a second half goal to grab all three points against La Equidad. Deportivo Pereira controlled the first possession wise and had 59% of the possession and converted the possession to a big chance that was unfortunately missed. However, the match in general was quite drab and Deportivo Pereira had just 3 shots in the first half while La Equidad had four. Both sides made changes at various instances in the second half in hope of finding an opening goal and it was Kener Valencia that did so for Deportivo Pereira. Kener Valencia scored a solo goal in the 77th minute, hitting a right footed shot from a difficult angle on the right side of the box to the center of the goal. Deportivo Pereira have two wins, two losses and one draw in its last five matches, scoring six goals and conceding seven.
