**Millonarios roll into this one as heavy favorites on paper**, but Deportivo Pereira know how to make noise at home — let's see if the underdogs can steal a result. 🔥

Pereira are scrappy (1W 2D 2L lately) and got thrashed by Medellín last time out, but they've won on the road recently. Millonarios are the sharper outfit with 2W 2D 1L, though they've dropped points to Santa Fe and gone quiet against Bogotá — and they're missing five bodies to injury.

Key storylines:

- **Millonarios** defense is stretched thin with D. M. Silva, J. Aguirre, J. Arias, Leonai, and R. Contreras all sidelined — can their backline hold?
- **Pereira** desperately need a win to climb the table; **F. Mosquera** and **J. Largacha** will lead the press
- The H2H is lopsided (Millonarios 7-1-2), but **Deportivo Pereira** can't be written off at home

Expected lineups:

- **Deportivo Pereira**: Y. Gómez, T. Bovone, S. Urrea, D. Ortiz, J. Monroy, J. Bermúdez, N. Rengifo, S. Acosta
- **Millonarios**: J. Burrai, R. Ureña, S. Barreiro, A. Llinás, S. Valencia, S. d. Castillo, L. Castro, D. Ruiz

Prediction:

**Millonarios 2-1 Deportivo Pereira**. Millonarios edge it despite injuries, but Pereira make them work for it. 📍
