Deportivo Pasto host Fortaleza FC in Colombia's Primera A. Pasto have had a decent season in the league table, but their recent results have been anything but smooth.
Fortaleza's away form hasn't been much better either, with plenty of draws creeping into their results. That mix of a solid league position and shaky recent form on both sides sets up an open contest.

Recent form tells a different story
Pasto's league position doesn't match their last 20 matches across competitions, where they've won just five, drawn three and lost twelve, shipping 31 goals along the way. That's a rough patch for a team sitting third in the table.
Deportivo Pasto: 20 completed matches; Fortaleza FC: 20 completed matches.

Fortaleza have been more stubborn without being much sharper. In their last 20 outings they've won four, drawn nine and lost seven, scoring 24 and conceding 26. Plenty of points dropped in draws rather than outright defeats.
Neither side arrives with real momentum, despite the gap in the table.

Player notes
Fortaleza's main attacking threat this season has been Arroyo, who has scored nine goals and added four assists in 19 appearances. He's been central to most of what they've created going forward.
At the other end, Pasto have picked up plenty of cards as a group, with Garavito, Serje and Chávez all into double figures for yellows this season. It points to a side that plays with some physicality.

How this could play out
Pasto's league position suggests they should have control at home, but their recent losing streak raises doubts about whether that will show up on the pitch. Fortaleza's tendency to draw rather than lose suggests they might dig in for a point rather than chase a win.
With both sides short on confidence from their last 20 games, this has the look of a tighter contest than the table alone would suggest.

Pasto have the league standing, but their last 20 matches have been rough, while Fortaleza have avoided defeat more through draws than genuine control. That combination makes it hard to back either side with confidence.
We'll pass on this one until there's more clarity, or a market worth assessing.
