Colo Colo take on the visitors Pereira in the round 6 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Friday, June 30th at Estadio Monumental David Arellano (Santiago de Chile).
Colo Colo are currently having a disappointing season. "Los Albos" became the champions of Chile in the previous campaign, ending a long drought. It was their 33rd title in history and the first in five years since 2017. However, there has been a noticeable decline, not only domestically but also in the Copa Libertadores. They have managed to win only once, against the nominal underdogs, Monagas. In total, they have gathered five points, and they currently occupy the bottom position in the tournament table. On the other hand, they are only two points behind the next opponent, giving them a chance to qualify for the playoffs. However, to secure the 3rd place, they must win, as a draw might not be enough to move up even a single spot.

Deportivo Pereira have only recently started to show some improvement. "El Grande Matecaña" was founded back in the 1940s. However, they spent a significant portion of their history in lower divisions and returned to the top-tier, the Categoría Primera A, of Colombian football only in 2019. This time, they were successful, reaching the final of the national cup in 2021. In the previous season, they surprisingly won the playoffs, securing their first championship title. Domestically, they have slipped back to the middle of the table. However, as debutants in the Copa Libertadores, they managed to gather seven points, all of them at their home ground. Currently, only Boca Juniors have more points in their group. But Monagas and Colo-Colo are two points behind, and if they both win synchronously in the final match, the newcomer will be pushed down to the last position. Losing is absolutely not an option.
The Colombians are making their debut in the Copa, so the goalless draw on their home ground in April was their first encounter. Colo Colo needs to regroup and give their maximum, especially since they are playing at home. Let's bet on the victory of the Chilean team.
Prediction for the match: Colo Colo to win.
