The BetPlay League is approaching its defining stage and there are many teams that are already starting to make accounts thinking about qualifying for the semi-final home runs. With four dates left to be played in the 'all against all' phase, Atlético Nacional, Deportes Tolima and Millonarios are the only clubs that secured their place in the final instance.
Meanwhile, most squads still have options to join the group of eight. However, the chances of achieving this goal will depend on the number of points they have after 16 games, and the type of rivals they have left to face.
The account specialized in sports data 'Matics' carried out a balance of the odds that each of the institutions have of qualifying for the next round of the championship. Independiente Medellín is, so far, the team with the greatest chances of securing a quota (97%). The 'powerful', who appears fourth with 27 points, will face Atlético Bucaramanga and Jaguares de Córdoba as a visitor, while he will receive Atlético Nacional and Deportivo Pasto at home.
The second in the ranking is Junior from Barranquilla with 82.4%. Those led by Juan Cruz Real are placed in the fifth box, having added 26 units. Meanwhile, Once Caldas has a 75.2% chance of returning to the final stages of the Colombian tournament, remembering that he appears in seventh place with 24 points.
Envigado and Alianza Petrolera, sixth and ninth in the league, respectively, close the ranks of teams that have more than 50% chance of qualifying. While the Antioquian team has 61.1% in their favor, the Barrancabermeja club has 53.9%.
Other traditional Colombian football clubs, such as Independiente Santa Fe and América de Cali, do not present a very encouraging picture. The 'cardinal' painting marks 37.6%, and the 'scarlet' barely 2.5%.
Another interesting fact that 'Matics' yields is what would be the so-called 'magic number' of points to rank. With the picture shown to date, there is a 37.4% chance that teams will need to add at least 29 units to get a quota in home runs. The second variable corresponds to 28 points with 30.9%. Therefore, if we take this statistic into account, Medellin and Junior would have a great chance of qualifying if they win their respective commitments.
The trend in this championship is very similar to that of the two tournaments last year. In both the Apertura and Finishing, America was the team that finished in eighth place, and on both occasions they did so by adding 29 units.
