Why the BetPlay 2025 League match is important
Once Caldas needs three points to get into the group of eight or to follow very closely with options to qualify for the semifinals of the championship.

In the League there are several games left, three at home and four away, if the team continues playing like this, there is good spirit to move forward and reach the eight. In the Cup we have a rival now that is our turn that is difficult, complicated, but we are used to those games, God willing we win them,” said Once Caldas coach, Arriero Herrera.
Meanwhile, Medellín has lost ground at the top of the championship and needs a victory to be one step away from qualifying for the home runs.

“Seeing the spaces between the Cup and the League, I think I can take a risk with the team almost base. We are going to give priority to the two tournaments. Remember that we also have reclassification, we are looking for that. I will rotate one or two players, but almost all the players we have at the moment come from the rest. I liked the midfield a lot and as long as they have strength and are well, I will continue working with them,” said the Once Caldas coach.
For its part, Medellín comes from falling 1-2 as a visitor against Águilas Doradasis in fifth position with 24 points.
