Melgar vs Deportivo Cali – Melgar will host Deportivo Cali in the second leg of their round of 16 matchup after the clubs drew 0-0 in the first leg. The hosts then drew again, and they will be looking to build on that momentum in front of their own supporters by claiming a victory.
Melgar and Deportivo Cali played a hard-fought first leg, with Nestor Lorenzo’s side dominating possession in the first half. Despite playing a lot of football, the team could only produce two shots on goal, so a scoreless draw was not unexpected.
Against Alianza Atletico, Melgar was held to a scoreless draw on Saturday, a game in which they were reduced to 10 men. They are now top of the Peruvian Primera Division, demonstrating the quality in the squad that they hope to bring on Thursday.
Melgar vs Deportivo Cali – Betting Analysis
Melgar has only lost three games in the league, and they’ll be looking to continue that streak if they want to advance further in the tournament. Daniel Luna and Carlos Lucumi were both sent off in the final 10 minutes of Deportivo Cali’s previous match against Melgar.
Both of those players had entered the game as substitutes but were unable to complete the game. They will be seeking to improve their discipline in the upcoming game.
A single win in their last six matches is something that Deportivo Cali are hoping to improve upon in order to get back into the swing of things. The team’s inability to pick up victories has been a source of concern, and they come into this match with less confidence than they would like. Deportivo Cali has only won twice thus far in this competition, but if they want to advance to the next round, they’ll have to change that.
