**Cali's cruising into Pasto riding a dominant streak — can the home side pull off a shock, or does the Sugar Club stay rolling?** 🔴

Pasto's been all over the map this season (one flash of brilliance, then three stinkers), while Cali just keep winning. The visitors have won four of their last five and look genuinely sharp right now. This feels like a classic mismatch on paper.

Key storylines:

- **Deportivo Cali's attacking depth** will test a **Pasto** backline that's leaked goals inconsistently — **J. Dinenno** and **S. Rodríguez** up front could have a field day
- **Pasto need their strikers to turn up** — **M. Pisano** and **S. Córdoba** have to make something happen at home or this gets away fast
- **Cali's five-at-the-back setup** gives them a structural edge in transition; **Pasto's 4-4-2** is more traditional but riskier if midfield gets overrun

Expected lineups:

- **Deportivo Pasto**: G. Banguera, N. Gil Uribe, M. Garavito, H. Goyes, J. Quiñones, Y. Góez, E. Serje, D. Chávez, M. Pisano, S. Córdoba, J. Perlaza
- **Deportivo Cali**: A. Rodríguez, K. Sandoval, F. Viáfara, F. Álvarez, J. Caldera, J. J. T. Perlaza, J. Martínez, R. Pájaro, D. Giraldo, S. Rodríguez, J. Dinenno

Prediction:

**Deportivo Cali 2–0 Deportivo Pasto** — Cali's form is too hot; Pasto can't find enough consistency to punish them. Slight favorite Cali. ⚪
