REF’s picks

Cúcuta Deportivo hold the home advantage at the Estadio General Santander against a struggling Deportivo Pereira side that sits deeper in the table. Backing the hosts to take all three points makes sense given Pereira's poor away form and lengthy winless run. However, Cúcuta's own defensive frailties and recent inconsistent results mean they could easily concede an early goal if they lose concentration.

1. 1Cúcuta play at home where they recently defeated Llaneros and have better overall squad stability.
2. 2Deportivo Pereira enter this fixture winless in their last five outings with severe defensive leakage on the road.
3. 3Cúcuta have defensive vulnerabilities that have seen them drop points from winning positions recently.
