- Deportivo Pasto have won three of the last four head-to-head matches across all competitions (Llaneros have won the other) and there have been no draws.
- Deportivo Pasto have won none and lost two of their last two home matches in Primera A 2026.
- Llaneros FC are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions (W3, D2) and have won one and drawn one of their last two away games.
Pasto in freefall
Deportivo Pasto are coming into Sunday's game on a three-game losing streak after a 2-0 away defeat to Millonarios and a 2-0 home loss to Deportivo Cali in Primera A 2026.
Jonathan Risueño has been in charge of the team since 1st December 2025 and has attempted to build a squad around a 4-3-3 formation that controls the ball and can dictate the pace of play in this Deportivo Pasto vs Llaneros FC preview.
While the setup is flexible enough to be possession-first or to be more direct, Pasto's recent results suggest Risueño hasn't been able to get the team playing well enough to win matches.
They have won just one of their last ten matches in all competitions (D0, L9) and their home form is even worse, going 0-5-0 over their last five at Estadio Departmental Libertad, where they average 0.40 goals per game (total of two home goals).
Llaneros are in fine form
Llaneros FC arrive on Sunday in much better form than their hosts with five wins, two draws and three defeats from their last ten across all competitions.
Nelson Gomez took over as head coach on 1st June 2025 and his pragmatic 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1 team has slowly taken on his stamp over time.
The 4-1-4-1 is a solid foundation in which players have to work off the ball in a disciplined manner, but they have a sharp edge up top with Neider Ospina, who has scored two of the Vendaval Llanero's five goals in their last five.
Llaneros are unbeaten in their last five, following up a 3-1 home win over Fortaleza FC with a 1-1 away draw at Atletico Bucaramanga in their most recent Primera A 2026 fixture.
They have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five away matches in all competitions, but also average 0.40 goals on the road (total of two away goals).
Tight game expected
Pasto are the slight favorites at 1.96 ahead of the draw at 3.25 and Llaneros at 4.0, which suggests that the market expects a tight game, so I'm backing an Under 2.5 goals bet at 1.62 and Both Teams to Score: No at 1.77 as part of these Deportivo Pasto vs Llaneros FC betting tips.
Pasto will try to dominate the ball and pin Llaneros back, while the visitors will look to stay compact and punish turnovers in transition.
So, the Deportivo Pasto vs Llaneros FC prediction is that the game will be tense with the pace set by the midfield battles and the most likely outcome is a narrow Deportivo Pasto win, although Llaneros' recent form means an upset is also possible, and that is also my Deportivo Pasto vs Llaneros FC prediction.
