With calculator in hand: this is how the accounts go for teams hoping to qualify for the Colombian football home runs

Four dates before the end of the all against all in the Colombian league, all the teams are attentive to the variants that their rivals may have, in the face of these defining matches, although there are already three qualified, the rest of the teams will seek to take the remaining five positions between now and the last date, as it will be in that moment when the final home runs of national football are defined.

Atlético Nacional, Deportes Tolima and Millonarios have already secured their place among the eight finalists, the Paisa team has 33 points so far, while Ibaguereños and capitalinos match with 32 units before a stable campaign, which demonstrates the good hand of their coaches, these three squads have shown an acceptable average In recent tournaments, however, the only one to achieve the most recent glory, is Deportes Tolima, as he won last year's opening tournament.

So far and ad portas to close date number 15, the standings table is set as follows:

1 Atletico Nacional - 33

2 Sports Tolima - 32

3 Millionaires - 32

4 Independiente Medellin - 26

5 Junior - 23

6 Envigado - 23

7 Independent Santa Fe - 22

8 Eleven Caldas - 21

Although fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth positions are still being drawn, the teams will seek to reach the magic number that may vary on the following dates. Well, it should be noted that for now the only one eliminated from the tournament is Unión Magdalena, who has barely 9 points, but as a surprise case, the team that has practically no chance is Deportivo Cali, the current champion of the tournament with 13 units in total.

Taking into account the average reported by the first three, and the sum of points left; which is 12, in the remaining four dates the teams that aspire to qualify for the home runs, should score 29 points, because in this case; both Golden Eagles and Patriots of Boyacá and Deportivo Pasto, would still have the hope of qualifying, in case, they must make a perfect score on the remaining dates, as they would add up to almost 28 points, but to achieve this goal they would have to wait for other teams that are ahead of the fight to lose or draw some matches, lowering the qualifying threshold, taking into account that it has always been outside the 27 points.

The case of Deportivo Cali is particular, because today he is in the fight in the Copa Libertadores, an international tournament in which he made his debut with victory; winning as a home against Boca Juniors in Argentina, his case is striking, because he played a regular tournament in the previous season and achieved the consecration of the championship, not However, the team of Rafael dudamel this year has been missing and little connected to the public, their hopes would be defined in the next match against América de Cali, in the classic Vallecaucano.

Finally, the teams with the most hope of qualifying would be: Jaguares, Alianza Petrolera and Atlético Bucaramanga, teams that are still outside the eight, on the other hand, there are squads that are within the finalists, and if they continue with their regular average, they could get that ticket quietly.

The next date will leave interesting matches, as it could define the qualification for another Paisa team, such as Independiente Medellín, who will host Unión Magdalena, on the other hand, the debut of Alexandre Guimaraes, the Costa Rican coach who will once again take over the reins of America de Cali and face Deportivo Cali Deportivo Cali is expected , with the option to leave it completely removed.
