Millonarios host Deportivo Pasto at Estadio El Campin in Bogota in a Clausura fixture that carries early-table weight for both sides. Millonarios sit 10th with 3 points from two games, while Pasto are winless through two Clausura matches and already staring at a deficit. Coach Fabián Bustos needs a home win to keep pace with the top half, and the bookmakers agree, pricing his side as heavy favorites. One angle worth watching: Rodrigo Contreras is the only outfield player to register a goal across Millonarios’ last five matches, making him the single point of attacking threat to monitor. For Pasto, Santiago Cordoba has contributed both a goal and an assist in recent games and is their most complete attacking option.
Hot stat: Millonarios have scored just 1 goal across their last 5 matches combined, taking 36 total shots in that stretch. That is a conversion rate that should concern any bettor leaning toward a high-scoring home performance.

Millonarios vs Deportivo Pasto Prediction
Millonarios hold a strong historical edge in this fixture, winning four of the last six head-to-head meetings and losing only once. At home in Bogota, the altitude factor alone disadvantages visiting sides from lower elevations, and Pasto have conceded 5 goals in their two Clausura outings so far. Despite Millonarios’ poor recent scoring form, the structural advantage is real. We predict a Millonarios win, though backing them on the moneyline at odds around 1.45 offers thin value given the short price.
The better value lies in the match staying low-scoring. Millonarios managed just 1 goal from 36 shots in five matches, and Pasto recorded only 21 total shots in the same window. Both sides foul at a moderate rate (24 and 21 fouls respectively over five games), and Pasto’s 26 free kicks conceded compared to Millonarios’ 17 suggests Pasto play with more desperation under pressure, which could slow the game. Millonarios average just 15 corner kicks across five matches while Pasto sit at 7, pointing to a match without sustained attacking pressure from wide areas.
- We predict Millonarios to win this match, with the home side’s structural and historical advantage outweighing their recent scoring slump.
- Under 2.5 goals looks the strongest value bet given both teams’ output over the last five matches.
- BTTS No is supported by Millonarios’ inability to concede regularly at home and Pasto’s limited shot creation.

Team Analysis
Millonarios have been inconsistent across the past month, winning just one of their last four matches. Their most recent Clausura result was a narrow 1-0 win over Junior Barranquilla, a positive result but one that masked a team still struggling to convert chances. Before that, they lost 0-1 to Bucaramanga and were eliminated from continental competition after a 0-1 loss to Colo Colo and a 0-2 defeat against Universitario de Deportes. The Copa Sudamericana exits have clearly taken a toll on the squad’s rhythm. Rodrigo Contreras accounts for the only competitive goal in five matches, scoring once and taking 10 shots, and the team’s overall pass accuracy across this stretch sits at a modest 697 out of 834 attempted passes.
Deportivo Pasto arrive in equally poor form. They have lost three of their last four matches, including both Clausura games, conceding 5 goals against Aguilas Doradas (1-2) and an unspecified opponent. Their most recent win was a 3-0 result over a weak Bogota side, which flatters their current standing. The 2-3 defeat against Independiente Medellin showed they can score but cannot hold a result. Joider Micolta, Santiago Cordoba, and Jorge Obregón each scored once in the last five matches, showing Pasto at least distribute their goals, but their defensive record (conceding 5 goals in two Clausura games) is alarming. With just 21 total shots and 7 corner kicks across five matches, Jonathan Risueño’s side lack the volume to pressure Millonarios consistently.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Millonarios the Favourite
- Moneyline Millonarios 1.46 | Deportivo Pasto 6.60
- Draw 4.10
The market prices Millonarios at roughly 1.45 across most books, reflecting the 63% win probability assigned by bookmakers. Pinnacle offers the most honest line at 1.47, while Deportivo Pasto range up to 7.50 at Bet365. The draw market sits around 4.00-4.23, which is fair given Pasto’s tendency to concede. To be honest, the Millonarios moneyline offers little margin at these prices. The real edge is pairing a Millonarios win with under 2.5 goals, given both teams’ documented inability to generate high-volume scoring in recent weeks.
Possible Starting Lineups
Millonarios Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Javier Burrai
- DF: Jorge Arias, Sergio Mosquera, Andrés Llinás, Danovis Banguero
- MF: Rodrigo Ureña, Mateo Garcia Rojas, Francisco Chaverra, Sebastián Viveros del Castillo
- FW: Rodrigo Contreras, Leonardo Castro
Bustos has relied on a 4-4-2 shape in each of the last five matches. Javier Burrai is the clear first-choice goalkeeper with two saves in two recent appearances. The defensive four of Arias, Mosquera, Llinás, and Banguero provides the most minutes-based justification for selection, with Arias and Mosquera each completing 180 minutes. In midfield, Rodrigo Ureña leads with 5 interceptions and 119 passes in two games, making him the engine of the press. Mateo Garcia Rojas adds 92 passes and 2 interceptions, while Francisco Chaverra contributes energy from wide. Up front, Contreras is the only player with a goal and remains the primary threat, partnered by Castro who has 4 shots in two appearances.
Deportivo Pasto Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Ederson Ancinar Cabezas Quinones
- DF: Joyce Esteban Ossa Rios, Julián Quiñones, Mateo Garavito, Santiago Jiménez
- MF: Enrique Serje, Diego Gabriel Chavez, Harrinson Mancilla, Yeison Tolosa
- FW: Santiago Cordoba, Joider Micolta
Risueño also deploys a 4-4-2 formation. Ederson Cabezas Quinones starts in goal with 7 saves across two matches, making him one of the busier keepers in the dataset. Ossa Rios and Julián Quiñones anchor the defensive line with full 180-minute appearances each, and Quiñones adds 5 interceptions. Enrique Serje is the most active midfielder with 81 passes and 6 free kicks won, while Diego Chavez provides the creative link with 1 assist and 102 passes. Santiago Cordoba is the focal point in attack, combining a goal and an assist in recent games, and Joider Micolta provides directness alongside him.

The Verdict
Millonarios are the logical pick to win this match. They hold a 4-1-1 record in the last six head-to-head meetings, they play at altitude in Bogota, and Pasto arrive winless through two Clausura games with a leaky defense. The concern is Millonarios’ own attacking output, which has been poor across five matches, with just 1 goal scored. We predict a tight 1-0 home win, the same scoreline that ended their last Clausura fixture against Junior. Pasto’s 3 scorers across five games show they are not toothless, but their shot volume (21 total) simply does not support consistent scoring against an organized Millonarios defensive unit. Under 2.5 goals pairs well with the home win, and Contreras to score anytime at longer odds represents the best individual player value on the card.
