Latest Colo-Colo vs Atletico Bucaramanga team information

Colo Colo will be without Emiliano Amor (muscle injury) and Erick Wiemberg (minor injury) as they have not recovered. In addition, veteran Arturo Vidal is also suspended after receiving a red card in the last match of Copa Libertadores.

As a result, Victor Felipe Mendez could drop behind the attacking midfield duo of Claudio Aquino and Vicente Pizarro, with Francisco Marchant and Lucas Cepeda operating on the flanks, and Javier Correa playing up front.

The defence is likely to remain the same after last weekend's 4-1 win with Mauricio Isla, Alan Saldivia, Sebastian Vegas and Daniel Gutierrez starting, with Fernando de Paul in goal.

On Atletico Bucaramanga's side, three players Aldair Zarate (muscle), Carlos Henao (muscle) and Santiago Jimenez (minor injury) are unlikely to return before next month.

Luciano Pons – who has scored nine goals in 19 games this season, including three in four Libertadores games – will lead the attack, alongside Frank Castaneda, Fabian Sambueza and Kevin Londono.

With a recent 4-match unbeaten streak, the starting lineup is likely to remain the same, including players Aldair Quintana, Aldair Gutierrez, Cristian Zapata, Jefferson Mena, Fredy Hinestroza, Edwin Castro and Diego Chavez.

Latest football commentary Colo-Colo vs Atletico Bucaramanga

Colo Colo won the Chilean National Championship for the 34th time in its history in 2024 – a record – with 67 points after 30 games, including 21 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats, two points ahead of second-placed Universidad de Chile.

However, the Whites have been unable to maintain that success at the start of this season, currently sitting 11th in the table with just four wins, two draws and three defeats – despite still having a few more games in hand than many other teams.

This poor form has also extended to the Copa Libertadores, where they have been eliminated from the group stage. Currently, Colo Colo are bottom of the table with 2 draws and 3 losses, 4 points behind third-placed Atletico Bucaramanga with only 1 match left.

Their notable results included two consecutive 0–4 defeats against Fortaleza and Racing Club, a 0–3 defeat after the first leg against Fortaleza was abandoned due to rioting on and off the pitch, along with two draws: 3–3 against Atletico Bucaramanga and 1–1 against Racing Club.

Although they just ended a 5-match winless streak with a 4-1 victory over Union Espanola in the domestic league, the home team is still in very poor form and is certainly underrated before this confrontation.

While the home team has almost no goals left after being eliminated, the away team Atletico Bucaramanga is fiercely competing for the second place in Group E to qualify for the knockout round.

Currently, Bucaramanga is in third place with 6 points after 5 matches (1 win, 3 draws, 1 loss), only 2 points behind Fortaleza - the team in second place.

With Fortaleza facing group leaders Racing Club in the final round, the Leopards will be hoping for a defeat for the Brazilians, as they must win and Fortaleza lose to qualify. In the event of a draw, Bucaramanga will not only need to win but also have to equalise the goal difference by up to seven goals to advance.

Coach Leonel Alvarez's team are in good form before the match, with 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 matches - creating great confidence for the goal of a vital victory.
