Millonarios welcome Deportivo Cali to Estadio El Campin with a mid-table Clausura clash that carries more weight for the visitors, who sit 12th and need points to avoid drifting toward the relegation zone battle. Millonarios rank fifth with 12 points from eight games, a solid if unspectacular return under Fabián Bustos. Cali arrive off a heavy 0-3 defeat to Atletico Nacional, their second loss to the same opponent inside a few weeks, a detail that exposes a real defensive fragility against attacking sides. Millonarios have drawn three of their last five, a pattern worth watching before backing a straight home win.
Leonardo Castro has been Millonarios’ most productive attacker across the last five matches with two goals and two assists, and his movement between the lines should trouble a Cali back line that has leaked goals in bunches recently. On the other side, Nicolás Benedetti has scored twice in just three appearances for Cali and remains their sharpest outlet on the counter, capable of punishing any Millonarios sloppiness at the back.
The most telling number from recent form belongs to the shot count: Millonarios have fired 74 total shots across their last five matches against just 35 for Deportivo Cali, more than double the output. That volume has produced only six goals for the hosts though, a conversion rate that suggests Cali’s low block, if organized properly, can frustrate Millonarios longer than the shot difference implies.

Millonarios vs Deportivo Cali prediction
We predict Millonarios draw no bet as the value angle here. The hosts have not lost at home in this stretch of form and dominate territorially, but three draws in five matches show the finishing edge is missing, so a pure moneyline bet at short odds feels like a poor risk-reward trade. Draw no bet covers the more likely scenarios, home win or stalemate, while removing the away-win risk that Cali’s counter-attacking threat through Benedetti still carries.
Millonarios generate far more volume in fouls (63 in five games) and cards (16 yellows) than Cali (29 fouls, 8 yellows), a sign the hosts press higher and commit more often in midfield duels. Their pass accuracy also sits well above Cali’s, 1693 accurate passes from a higher total versus 1194 for the visitors, confirming Millonarios control possession more consistently. That control, paired with Cali’s leaky defense away from home, points toward a game where Millonarios create the better chances but might need a set piece or individual quality from Castro to break through, given how often games have finished level recently.

Team Analysis
Millonarios come off a 1-1 draw against Deportivo Pereira, extending a run where three of their last five outings ended level. Before that they lost 2-3 to Santa Fe, a game where their defense conceded three despite dominating the ball, echoing the same profligacy in front of goal noted above. A 0-0 with Internacional de Bogota and a 2-0 win over Llaneros sandwich a 1-1 draw with Aguilas Doradas, painting a picture of a team that competes well but struggles to close out matches cleanly.
Deportivo Cali’s most recent match ended in a 0-3 defeat to Atletico Nacional, their second loss to that opponent in the sampled stretch, having also fallen 1-2 to them earlier. Between those results, Cali drew 1-1 with Bucaramanga and 2-2 with Internacional de Bogota, and beat Deportivo Pasto 2-0. The pattern shows Cali can score against weaker sides but collapses defensively against stronger attacking teams, a worrying sign heading into Bogota.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Millonarios the favourite
- Moneyline Millonarios 1.53 | Deportivo Cali 4.27
- Draw 3.35
Bookmakers price Millonarios as clear favourites at roughly 55% implied probability, matching the eye test on home form and possession numbers. The draw price above 3.30 looks generous given how often these two have split points historically, and it lines up with our draw no bet recommendation, since backing the hosts outright at 1.53 leaves little room for error against a Cali side capable of frustrating stronger opponents for long spells.
Possible Starting Lineups
Millonarios possible starting eleven
- GK: Javier Burrai
- DF: Andrés Llinás, Danovis Banguero, Jaine Barreiro, Samuel Martín Díaz
- MF: Rodrigo Ureña, Mateo Garcia Rojas, Francisco Chaverra, Daniel Felipe Ruiz Rivera, Andrey Estupinan
- FW: Leonardo Castro
Bustos has stuck with a 4-2-3-1 across his last five matches, and the same core group has featured in every game. Castro leads the line with the double pivot of Ureña and Garcia Rojas shielding a back four that has barely rotated. Estupinan and Ruiz Rivera add goal threat from wide areas, making them the two names to watch beyond Castro himself.
Deportivo Cali possible starting eleven
- GK: Pedro Gallese
- DF: Fabian Viafara, Jose Carlos Caldera, Keimer Sandoval, Edwin Velasco, Leyser Chaverra Renteria
- MF: Daniel Giraldo, Alexis Castillo Manyoma, Gustavo Cuéllar
- FW: Nicolás Benedetti, Steven Rodríguez
Dudamel’s 5-3-2 relies on a back five to compensate for a leaky defense on the road, with Gallese busy in goal across recent outings. Benedetti carries the attacking burden alongside Rodríguez, and his two goals in three games make him the player most likely to trouble Millonarios on the break.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Our punters team leans toward Millonarios draw no bet, backed by their control of possession and set pieces against a Cali defense that has shipped goals in bunches against stronger opponents. The shot data suggests Millonarios will dictate territory, but their recent conversion issues keep an outright win from being the safest call. Perhaps the smarter route is combining the draw no bet with over 2.5 goals, since both sides have shown they can score, and Cali rarely keeps a clean sheet away from home this Clausura.
