Deportivo Pereira vs Deportes Tolima Prediction

Form reads differently for each side

Tolima's recent run covers twenty matches across the league, the Copa Colombia and even the Libertadores, and it's a mixed bag: six wins, five draws and nine defeats, with 20 goals scored and 27 conceded. That record includes some tough continental away trips, so it's not a pure reflection of their domestic level.

Pereira's sample is closer to home, mostly league and cup football, and it's not much healthier: four wins, eight draws and eight losses from twenty matches, scoring just 15 and shipping 25. Their defence has looked especially open in that spell.

Neither side has been banging in the wins recently, but Tolima have at least looked tighter at the back.

Comparative Team Statistics: Deportivo Pereira vs Deportes Tolima

Tolima have had the better of this fixture

Looking back over the meetings on record between these two, Tolima have generally come out on top, including a 2-0 win the last time they played in April 2026. When the game has actually been at Pereira's own ground, though, draws have been the most common outcome, with Pereira managing just one win there, back in October 2024.

Tolima have also managed an away win at Pereira's place before, winning 0-2 back in April 2022, so this isn't a fixture where the home side has dominated historically.

History leans towards Tolima, even away from home.

A big gap in the table

The standings data we have shows Tolima sitting around sixth or seventh place with over thirty points picked up, a healthy total for this stage of the campaign. Pereira, by contrast, are down in the bottom few places in both snapshots we have, with far fewer points on the board.

That's a sizeable gap between the two sides, and it lines up with the shakier underlying numbers Pereira have shown this year.

Players to keep an eye on

Tolima's L. Sandoval has been their main source of goals, with eight in 21 appearances, and he's also picked up a fair few cards along the way. Teammate J. Hernández has two red cards without a single yellow in 23 games, an unusual disciplinary record worth watching if tempers flare.

For Pereira, W. Pacheco has been their most booked player, with ten yellows and a red in 22 matches, suggesting their defence has had to do a fair bit of niggly work this season.
