REF’s picks

Deportivo Pereira hold a slight psychological edge at home against Boyacá Chicó and can edge this crucial bottom-table clash with the small insurance of the quarter-ball handicap. Both sides have struggled heavily for goals this season, making a tight, low-scoring affair far more likely than a comfortable home blowout. However, Pereira's desperation at the Estadio Hernán Ramírez Villegas should push them to nick a narrow victory.

1. 1Deportivo Pereira sit near the foot of the table and desperately need a home response after a poor run of results.
2. 2Boyacá Chicó have been exceptionally weak on their travels, losing the majority of their recent away fixtures.
3. 3Pereira's lack of a reliable cutting edge in attack means they could easily draw instead of winning, which makes the quarter-ball safety crucial.
