The Betplay-2 League will reach its last day with a great dose of emotion and suspense. After matchday 18, four teams keep alive the hope of qualifying, and two are fighting to avoid relegation.
Junior, Pasto, Fortaleza and Medellín are the ones that still have mathematical options to fight for the last two spots in the home runs.
In the lower part of the table, the tension is palpable. Jaguares and Envigado are playing to remain in the first division. Envigado depends on himself, and a victory against Medellín would ensure his permanence. This match is anticipated as a true final, since Medellín will not only try to score points to qualify, but also prevent Envigado from being saved at their expense. Jaguares, for its part, will need to not only win, but Envigado to stumble to have a chance of staying in the top flight.
At the top of the table, the privilege of being seeded and having the “invisible point” adds a special attraction to this last day. This benefit allows the teams that finish first and second in the regular phase to advance in the event of a tie in the decisive phases. Until now, Santa Fe and América have that privilege, but an opportunity opens up for Millonarios, Nacional or Tolima to climb to that position. Thus, these teams will fight for a point that can be decisive in their aspirations for the title.
The clubs that have already secured their place in the home runs are Santa Fe, América, Millonarios, Nacional, Tolima and Once Caldas. These teams have been consistent in their performances, ensuring early qualification. However, the ambition to improve their position in the table to obtain a strategic advantage in home runs means that these teams do not relax and seek to close the regular phase with a positive result.
This Tuesday, Dimayor will define the schedules for Thursday’s matchday, in which the matches with teams involved in each of these fights will probably be played at the same time, guaranteeing a closing of the regular phase full of drama.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this exciting Betplay-2 League, where not only the tickets to home runs and relegation are at stake, but also the definition of who will become the main contenders for the title and the teams that, with effort, they will manage to remain in the first category of Colombian soccer.
With tension and expectation at its highest, this final day promises to be one of the most memorable of the season, leaving fans in suspense and ready to celebrate or regret at the end of the 90 minutes.
This is how the last date will be played: DIM-Envigado, Tolima-Nacional, Pereira-Equidad, Pasto-Patriotas, Chicó-Millonarios, Fortaleza-Águilas, Santa Fe-Jaguares, Alianza-Bucaramanga, América-Caldas and Junior-Cali.
