There are many things at stake in the last four rounds of the League. Those at the top do not want to give up the lead, those in the middle of the table want to secure themselves among the eight and the issue of relegation has not yet been defined. Every point counts and definitive days are coming.
According to the criteria of
Only two teams can say that they are breathing easy, although they are aiming for one of the first two places in the table to have a sporting advantage in the semifinal home runs.
América, which has already reached 33 points, and Once Caldas, which surpassed the historical average of 29 with which it has classified eighth in the tournaments of 20 clubs and 19 dates, will have a certain calm in the remaining dates.
Santa Fe and Nacional have already reached 29, but they do not want to suffer any scares: only once was a team left out with more than 29 points: it was Nacional itself, in 2018-II.
In cycling terms, then comes a group led by Millonarios, who is one victory away from 30 points to secure. And then, among the eight, but with nothing guaranteed, are Junior (25), Tolima (25) and Fortaleza, which this Friday scored with its victory against Once Caldas (24).
Pasto dawns outside the eight (23), and stalked byr Pereira, who this Friday beat Jaguares 1-2 in Montería. Further back is a Bucaramanga that then pushes off a bad start. And Medellín still has options, with 19, although almost forced to win everything.
The fight for permanence also lives key hours
The other tight fight was that of relegationalthough Patriotas already has a much more complicated outlook than the rest and it seems difficult to save itself. He is at 0.85 and the maximum he could reach, if he wins all the games, is 1.08. The classic against Chicó, on Sunday, will be key for both in the fight for permanence.
Jaguares is in relegation today, but, in white silver, it has Envigado two points away. This Saturday, in Montería they force Junior.
The one that could be freed from that problem for this year is Cali if they win the classic against América and if Patriotas lose this weekend.
Next to this note is the calendar of what remains. There is fighting everywhere.
