With four games, date 13 of the first half of the Colombian League continues today, where without a doubt the most important game of the day is the one that will be played starting at 4:10 in the afternoon at the Manuel Murillo Toro stadium in Ibagué between the leader Deportivo Pereira, visiting the second in the table, Deportes Tolima. A commitment that seemed to have a very good presence of the Matecaña public, but based on the guidelines of the locals, they chose to have border closures and prohibit the entry of Pereira fans to the musical capital.
Due to performance throughout the tournament, play shown on the field and results, both Matecañas and Tolimenses are the two best teams in the league, so a fairly even and attractive duel for the general public is expected, in addition to the confrontation between two Antioquian technicians: Leonel Álvarez for the rojiamarillos and David González for the vinotinto and oro team.
Good track record in recent visits
Deportivo Pereira has achieved important results in its last visits to the Manuel Murillo Toro in Ibagué where it has two consecutive victories: the most recent last year by a score of 2-3 with goals from Angelo Rodríguez and a double from Carlos Ramírez. Furthermore, in 2022 Matecaña also won, this time with a 1-3 score where Leider Berrío, Carlos Ramírez and Leonardo Castro scored for the Riscaraldenses who would be the champions in that semester.
In that order of ideas, Deportivo Pereira has not lost in the League at the home of Deportes Tolima since 2021 where the locals won by the smallest difference with a goal scored by Juan Fernando Caicedo.
According to data from Memory and Statistics of Colombian Football, today will be the 179th match between Deportivo Pereira and Deportes Tolima in the League with a more than favorable balance for the Matecañas with 72 wins, 59 draws and 47 losses.
