Deportes Tolima vs Chico Prediction & Betting Tips

Recent form for both sides

Tolima's last 20 matches span the league, the Copa Colombia and the Libertadores, and the return is 8 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses with 21 goals scored and 25 conceded. That's a team that's had good spells but also stretches where results haven't gone their way, including back-to-back league losses to Once Caldas and Santa Fe earlier this month before bouncing back with a win at Llaneros.

Chico's equivalent sample is worse across the board: 6 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses, with 18 scored against 33 conceded. Their most recent five games have been loss, loss, win, win, draw, so there's been a bit of a lift lately even if the overall numbers still point to a team that leaks goals regularly.

Neither side has been consistent recently, but Chico's defensive numbers stand out as the bigger concern.

Comparative Team Statistics: Deportes Tolima vs Chico

A head-to-head with no clear pattern

These two have met a dozen times going back to 2016, and the results swing both ways rather than favouring one club. Tolima won 4-0 last September, but Chico won 4-1 away from home earlier in 2025, and their most recent meeting in March finished level at 1-1.

With wins, losses and draws scattered across the sample and mixed venues involved, this history doesn't give a strong lean either way heading into the next meeting.

Where they sit in the table

One table reading has Tolima 6th with 31 points from 19 games, while Chico sit 18th with just 17 points from the same number of matches. A second set of standings, covering fewer games, still shows the same shape: Tolima 7th, Chico down in 17th.

However you read it, Tolima are the clearly better-placed side this season, and Chico have work to do just to move away from the bottom end of the table.

The table gap is consistent across both readings, which backs up Tolima's status as favourites on paper.
