In the early hours of Friday, Deportes Tolima hosts Envigado in the Colombian Primera A as two of the league’s top teams clash.
The home side is currently in second place in the Colombian top-flight table, trailing leaders Millonarios by just two points. Tolima’s recent league form has been slightly inconsistent, although they have suffered just one defeat in their previous nine matches in the Primera A. Last time out, they recorded a 1-0 win at Independiente Medellin. The game saw Hernan Torres’ team keep their third clean sheet in their previous four league matches.

Deportes Tolima’s recent stellar defensive record has contributed to their last four league matches producing under 2.5 goals.
On home soil, the home side is currently unbeaten in their last four Primera A games. Their most recent home games in the league have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five matches on home soil.
The visitors are in sixth place in the league table, nine points behind their hosts. However, Envigado head into this clash on the back of a poor recent run of league form. They have failed to win in their previous six matches in the Primera A, having suffered four defeats in the process.
The most significant cause of their recent concerning league form has been poor defensive displays, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five league matches.
Their recent away form has not helped their chances of returning to form either, as Envigado are winless in their last seven away matches in the Colombian top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Deportes Tolima will record a narrow victory in a low-scoring encounter to boost their chances of moving into the top spot in the Primera A in the near future.
