- Deportivo Pasto have won two and lost eight of their last ten matches in all competitions.
- Deportivo Cali have won four and lost one of their last five matches in all competitions.
- Cali have conceded just six goals in six away games in all competitions.
Cali could edge another close away game
Cali look the more likely winner on the form and the recent H2H between Deportivo Pasto and Deportivo Cali, but the odds tell you this will be a close and cautious affair with the home side a favorite at 2.4.
Cali, who are 3.05 on Sunday, are worth a small bet in the draw no bet market, but the draw is also coming in at 3.05, so this should be an even game, which is why the under 2.5 goals at 1.53 looks a slightly sharper option than both teams to score No at 1.73. This Deportivo Pasto vs Deportivo Cali prediction leans toward a tight, low-scoring contest.
Jonathan Risueno has done a superb job with Pasto since taking charge in December 2025 and his side's identity is clear - they want the ball, they play possession-based soccer in a 4-3-3 system and look to dominate territory with their wingers and number 10.
Cali, who have won three of the last five H2Hs (Pasto have one and one draw) are a bit more pragmatic and will mix systems, but Rafael Dudamel, who has led the side since March 2026, has created a side that are less easy to read and much more competitive.
Cali can nick it in an even contest
Pasto have been in poor form coming into this and have lost their last two games after winning just one of their last five. They have scored just two goals in their last four home games in all competitions, which usually ends in a blunt night for the hosts.
Cali have won three, drawn one and lost two of their six away matches in all competitions, which suggests they can travel here and nick a result. They have conceded just six goals in those fixtures, which tells you that their back line keeps things fairly tidy on the road.
This looks like a clash of two very different sides and it could be a chess match with Pasto wanting the ball and Cali looking to punish mistakes and play on the counter. Our belief is that this Deportivo Pasto vs Deportivo Cali preview points to a tactical battle, and our call is that Cali have the momentum and the H2H edge to just nick this one, but it will be a cagey affair and probably won't go down as a landslide, which the odds suggest it won't do.
