Bucaramanga and Millonarios Clash in Key Liga Match

BUCARAMANGA, Colombia — Atlético Bucaramanga will face Millonarios on Sunday, April 27, at 8:30 p.m. in the Américo Montanini Stadium. This match is critical for both teams as they strive for better standings in the Liga BetPlay I 2025.

Bucaramanga enters the match hoping to secure a win that could propel them into serious playoff contention. Currently, they hold the eleventh position with 20 points. In contrast, Millonarios, positioned fourth with 27 points, aims for victory as they push closer to playoff qualifications.

The ‘Leopardos’ come off a strong performance in the Copa Libertadores where they earned a tough draw against Fortaleza, showcasing their resilience. Meanwhile, Millonarios has had a long week of rest following their last match, a goalless draw against América de Cali.

Millonarios has not suffered a loss over the last five matches and has gone 450 minutes without conceding a goal. Coach David González feels confident as his squad approaches full strength, welcoming back experienced players such as Juan Pablo Vargas and Radamel Falcao García.

In their last league encounter in July 2024, Millonarios defeated Bucaramanga 1-0, thanks to Danovis Banguero’s goal. However, the teams met earlier in the Copa Colombia, where Bucaramanga triumphed in penalties after the matches ended in draws.

Bucaramanga’s head coach, Leonel Álvarez, aims to maintain their positive momentum. They’ve had a promising start to the season, and fans are excited for what’s to come. The home team will be almost at full strength, missing only midfielder Fabián ‘Chino’ Sambueza, who is recovering from an injury.

As the two teams prepare to clash, the stakes are high. Millonarios looks to capitalize on their winning streak, while Bucaramanga aims to build on their recent successes.
