One of the most attractive matches of the weekend is going to be Union Magdalena against Nacional. Those of Santa Marta have mixed feelings. Although they are playing well and within the classifieds, the most important thing is relegation and with that issue they are complicated. That is why they are more focused on permanence than on qualifying, yes, if they save the category they will surely be within the eight. They only managed 3 of the last 9 points, so they hope to make up ground at home.
Atlético Nacional, the current champions, started very badly, without adding points or having a defined style. They have been improving and in the last two games they got victories against Pasto (3-1) and Alianza Petrolera (0-2) who have them ninth and they want to get into the group of eight.
Unión Magdalena vs. Nacional Betting Pick: Draw

After a good start in the debut of David González as a coach, Deportivo Independiente Medellín lowered its level so much that it’s in 15th place with 7 points. In their last 3 league games, they suffered 2 away losses and 1 home draw. This week they qualified for the semifinals of the Colombian Cup by eliminating Deportes Tolima, but lost the second leg, in Medellin, and were suffering until the end.
Independiente Santa Fe, for its part, has almost always remained within the group of classifieds and has strengthened itself in recent weeks with its two victories, 0-1 in its visit to Deportivo Pereira and 2-1 against Deportes Tolima. Right now they are fourth and a win would help them move up a few positions.
