- Deportivo Pereira have lost only 1 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings with La Equidad.

Pereira play with purpose
Deportivo Pereira have a strong home record in the Primera A 2025, winning 5, drawing 4 and losing none of their 9 matches on their home turf in 2025. Rafael Dudamel took over on April 9, 2025 and instilled a gritty, never-say-die mentality on his side immediately, especially on home turf. This Deportivo Pereira vs La Equidad prediction highlights the impact of Dudamel’s leadership at home.
The hosts have won their last 2 at home, both 1-0 against Deportivo Pasto, before they fell 2-0 at Independiente Medellin last time out. Carlos Ramírez is the defensive linchpin of a rearguard that has conceded only two home goals all season in the league while Carlos Darwin Quintero, with three goals in 15 appearances in the top division, adds experience and creativity to an attack.
Pereira are a side that defend resolutely and then transition quickly to create dynamic, high-tempo attacks that are very difficult to deal with. Playmaker Johnny Vásquez is the engine of this tactic and controls the rhythm of Pereira’s games.
For a detailed Deportivo Pereira vs La Equidad preview, it is crucial to note the discipline and tactical setup that gives Pereira an edge at home.
Equity is struggling
La Equidad are in terrible form and Juan Mahecha must find a way to steady the ship of a sinking club when he took over on May 13, 2025. However, our Deportivo Pereira vs La Equidad prediction suggests the visitors face a tough challenge ahead.
La Equidad are winless in their 9 Primera A 2025 away matches, drawing 2 and losing 7.
The visitors are in free-fall at the moment, having lost 4 consecutive games and winning just 1 of their previous 5 in Primera A 2025.
Camilo Ayala is a feisty midfielder that can add bite to the middle of the park, but he hasn’t been able to turn the tide on La Equidad’s slide.
Samir Mayo is the team’s danger man, notching 3 goals in 18 league games, and scoring half his team’s goals in their last 5 outings.
Veteran defender Jefferson Mena marshals the rearguard, but he has had his work cut out in recent weeks as they have lost 4-0 to Fortaleza FC and 4-1 to Bucaramanga.
The Deportivo Pereira vs La Equidad betting tips all point towards a difficult afternoon for the visitors, given their poor defensive record.
Pereira to pile the pressure
Deportivo are the bookmaker’s favorites here at +120, although I would have them much shorter here, given that La Equidad are +260 on the road. According to the latest Deportivo Pereira vs La Equidad prediction, the odds reflect Pereira's strong home advantage.
Pereira sit 12th in the standings with 25 points from 19 games, while the visitors are in a perilous 19th place with 10 points from the same amount of fixtures.
A win for Pereira here would be a huge boost for their Primera A 2025 campaign and could provide momentum to lift them into the top 10.
Backing Pereira to win and under 2.5 goals looks good as La Equidad have scored just five goals in nine away Primera A 2025 games this season and Pereira have conceded just two goals at home all season.
Anything other than a home win would be a major upset here, given Pereira are unbeaten in 9 on their own patch and La Equidad are on a four-game losing streak.
