Context last updated 28 Sep 2026, 17:35 · Europe/Bucharest

Cali's four-match winning run meets an Alianza side that has won three of four league games since Flabio Torres took over in September, and the hosts are without six players.

Cali should still win at home, but the 1.50 match price and the 1.10 on Cali level or ahead at half-time both ask more than their form justifies. The one price with an edge is both teams to score in the first half at 5.00.

Context

Cali lose their first-choice goalkeeper and a cluster of attacking and midfield regulars for the same matchday, so the side will be staffed from a narrower group at both ends. The home run they are protecting was built at Palmaseca, which makes a reshuffled spine the most likely way that run is tested. Alianza carry no listed absences, so the availability imbalance sits entirely with the hosts.
- Pedro Gallese and Juan Arango are away on international duty for this fixture.
- Avilés Hurtado, Nicolás Benedetti, Kalazan Suárez and Ronaldo Pájaro are listed as injured.
- Alianza Valledupar arrive with no players listed as unavailable.

Cuéllar has been the reference point in Cali's midfield during their winning run, sitting at the base of a double pivot while the wide players push forward. Removing him for a home game against a side that defends deep changes who screens the back four and who starts attacks. The accumulation has not appeared on a published disciplinary list, so it is worth treating as likely rather than finalised.
- Gustavo Cuéllar collected his fifth yellow card of the semester in the 2-0 win over Águilas Doradas on 27 September.
- The accumulation rules him out of Deportivo Cali's next league match.

The change came with Alianza adrift at the foot of the table, and league results turned quickly, with wins over Junior, Boyacá Chicó and Jaguares. That gives the visitors a recognisable block-and-counter identity to bring to a game where Cali will dominate the ball. The turnaround is recent and was interrupted by a 4-1 home defeat to Santa Fe, so it reads as a live trend rather than a settled level.
- Flabio Torres and Pedro Luis Alzate replaced Camilo Ayala at the head of Alianza Valledupar's coaching staff in early September 2026.
- Torres's first match in charge was a Copa BetPlay elimination, a 1-0 loss away to Once Caldas on 10 September.
- Alianza had two points from seven league games before the change and have since won three of four.

The three points came against the side Alianza are most directly competing with in the average table, so the result carries value beyond a normal away win. It follows an away victory at Boyacá Chicó, giving them two road wins in this stretch before another trip. Relegation is settled by the multi-season average rather than this semester alone, so one result does not close out their position.
- Alianza won 2-1 away at Jaguares de Córdoba on 27 September, with Jair Castillo equalising on 39 minutes and Jhildrey Lasso scoring the winner on 72.
- The game was a direct duel in the relegation table and left Jaguares bottom of the average standings.
