This weekend Matchday 5 of the Categoría Primera A will be played, which has a surprising Unión Magdalena at the top of the table and some historical ones such as Nacional and Deportivo Cali that do not raise their heads.
Unión Magdalena is still undefeated and watching everyone from above and this Sunday they will have a very tough match against Millonarios, second, who wants to take the lead.
Deportivo Pasto lost the lead last game at home and will go out to try to recover the missing points but will have to face a hurt Atlético Nacional who can’t wait to win again.
Junior continues to improve and already has Carlos Bacca, ready to deliver a new title to the team. For that, they must keep winning, and against Rionegro Águilas they have a good opportunity.
Alianza Petrolera got into the top eight with their win in the last match and wants to continue like this, but Jaguares does not want to be left out of the party again.

A very good match will be played this Sunday in Santa Marta. Unión is first with 10 points and Millonarios second with 8, so whoever wins will be the leader. El Ciclón has been surprising, winning at home, as a visitor, and at altitude. Only Once Caldas was able to get a draw on the first game and in stoppage time (2-2).
One of the morbidities of the match is going to be seeing Ricardo Márquez. The striker had a bad time at Millonarios, where he only scored 7 goals in 2 years. He returned home and has 4 goals and 1 assist in the first 4 games, being the tournament’s top scorer and one of the figures.
On the ‘Ambassadors’ side, they are also undefeated after equaling the first two games against Pasto (1-1) and Bucaramanga (0-0) and then winning the classic against Nacional (1-2) and Envigado (1-0), so they are on the rise.

The games go by and nothing yet by Atlético Nacional. The current champion of Colombia is in the last place with only 2 points in 4 games, getting draws with Cortuluá (1-1) and Tolima (2-2), and falling with Junior (3-1) and Millonarios (1-2). It is a difficult time for the team from Antioquia, both on and off the field, since apparently, the board is not satisfied with some attitudes of the squad.
For his part, Pasto is one of the surprises of the tournament. Until the last Matchday, they were leaders, but they fell at home with Unión Magdalena (1-2) and lost that position. They know that Nacional’s moment is not the best, so are wishing to take advantage of that rival’s need to recover the lost points.
Atlético Nacional vs. Deportivo Pasto Betting Pick: Draw

Rionegro Águilas comes to this duel after winning its first match of the tournament, against La Equidad, with a 3-0 win. The departure of its captain and figure Cristian Marrugo, who went to the DIM, has cost the Antioquia team a lot, and they still haven’t found who could be the man with the ideas.
On Junior’s side, everything is improving. After the defeat against the Patriotas in the first match, where the team looked bad, little by little they have been increasing and are showing a great game, where the reinforcements have joined well. In addition, Carlos Bacca, the idol who returned after 10 years in Europe, had already his first minutes and showed that he has a lot of magic to give.
Rionegro Águilas vs. Junior Betting Pick: Junior

On Saturday Jaguares and Alianza Petrolera will be one of the matches that will open the curtain of the Matchday. The locals, who have one game in hand, started well with an away win against Cortuluá (0-1) but went downhill (defeat with Pasto and draw with Patriotas), so they hope at home to give their first victory to the fans and get into the fight.
For its part, the visit beat Atlético Bucaramanga last weekend (3-1) and entered the group of finalists, from which it does not expect to leave. For that, they have to get at least a draw against the ‘feline’ team.
