Colombian League follow-up this week 5 Deportvio Cali will act as host to host Union Magdalena at Estadio Deportivo Cali. This match became a reunion match after their last meeting took place in 2013 at the Colombia Cup, then the first meeting was also in 2005 when the Union Magdalena was still playing in the main league.

Union Magdalena has just returned to promotion to the Premier League after last season coming out as runner-up in Division 2, they lost the final match against another promotion team, Cúcuta Deportivo. Interestingly, it is precisely Cúcuta Deportivo who currently leads the standings, while Union Magdalena is ranked 12th in the standings after only getting 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss.

Union Magdalena lost to Jaguares de Cordoba and drew against Atlético Huila and Independiente Medellin and beat La Equidad. Conversely for the host Deportivo Cali recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Indeed, Union Magdalena still leaves 1 game remaining, but the results are not satisfactory. Deportivo Cali defeated Atletico Bucaramanga and Deportes Tolima and drew with Atlético Huila and La Equidad.

Deportivo Cali lost to Jaguares de Cordoba, enough to draw both teams to lose to the same team. Deportivo Cali did not underestimate Union Magdalena just because the promotion of the visiting team then also benefited from playing in front of their own supporters became a big prestige if Deportivo Cali failed to win in this match. Most likely the Union Magdalena is defeated.
