After the World Cup qualifying matches, the Colombian league returns, and before the weekend, some postponed matches will be played during these days.
Millonarios will be looking to get closer to qualification when they host Fortaleza, who, after a great start, are now struggling.
Santa Fe, on the other hand, could secure their place in the finals if they beat a needy Independiente Medellín, whose defeat would complicate their objective.
Finally, Tolima will also be looking to climb a few positions in the top eight when they host Alianza FC, whoare more worried about relegation.

Millonarios is in fifth place with 21 points, but the ninth-placed team has 19 points, so a loss could take them out of the privileged group that gives them a spot in the playoffs. They are coming off a six-game unbeaten streak with four wins after losing 2-1 to América. At home, they have four wins, one draw, and one loss. They will be without their goal scorer, Leonardo Castro, who was sent off last week.
Fortaleza has the same points as its rival but a worse goal difference. The team from Zipaquirá had had a great start to the tournament and was in the lead, but a string of seven games without a win sent them to the current seventh place. However, they won last week against Jaguares (3-1), breaking that negative streak. They have not won in four away games and have three consecutive draws.

Red hot duel in Bogota. Santa Fe is having a great tournament and is third with 28 points after eight victories, four draws, and one loss. They are coming off a hard-fought 1-2 win in Tunja against Patriotas, with Andrés Mosquera playing a key role. Their only defeat came at home against La Equidad on the third matchday, and the truth is that it has not been a fortress, as they have obtained more points playing away (17) than at El Campín (11).
DIM is seeing how their qualification is getting farther and farther away. With 15 points, they are in 15th place, and the big problem for them has been their attack, scoring just ten goals, and no player has more than two. In their last game, they lost to America (1-0), and as visitors, they have one win, three draws, and three defeats.
Santa Fe vs. DIM Betting Pick: Santa Fe

Tolima is another team on the 21-point line, in sixth place, with teams such as Junior, Águilas Doradas, and Bucaramanga waiting for a slip-up to take their spot in the group of eight. They lost 1-0 to Pereira and have two games without a win. Yeison Guzmán is one of the most decisive players of the Catégoria Primera A with five goals and three assists, although he received a red card last game and will not be able to play in this one.
Alianza FC is no longer thinking about the playoffs,but about not being relegated. For now, they are safe, and there are several teams behind them, but it is still a possibility and they do not want to be confident. They have had a very bad tournament with only 12 points out of a possible 39, and they have one draw and five defeats away from home. They have just lost to DIM (2-0) and have only scored one goal in their last six matches.
Tolima vs. Alianza Betting Pick: Tolima
