Deportivo Cali Faces Bucaramanga in Copa BetPlay 2025 Match

Cali, Colombia — Deportivo Cali and Atlético Bucaramanga meet in the Group A match of the Copa BetPlay 2025 on June 2 at 6:00 p.m. at the Américo Montanini Stadium. This match marks the debut of Bucaramanga in the tournament, seeking a strong start against an experienced Deportivo Cali team.

Deportivo Cali enters the match on a high note, having secured a 2-1 victory over Boca Juniors de Cali in their latest game. Interim coach Sergio Herrera will again lead the team as they aim for crucial points against Bucaramanga.

However, Bucaramanga comes into the match with valuable international experience, having participated in various tournaments this semester. Their head coach, Leonel Álvarez, has revitalized the team, making them a formidable opponent in this encounter.

The expected lineups for the match include Aldair Quintana in goal for Bucaramanga, with defenders Fredy Hinestroza, Carlos Henao, Carlos Romaña, and Aldair Gutiérrez. In midfield, Leonardo Flores and Edwin Castro will play, while Kevin Londoño, Fabián Sambueza, Frank Castañeda, and Luciano Pons lead the attack.

For Deportivo Cali, Alejandro Rodríguez will be in goal, supported by Yulián Gómez, José Caldera, Guzmán Corujo, and Fabián Viáfara in defense. Gian Cabezas, Rafael Bustamante, and Yeison Gordillo will manage midfield duties, while Andrey Estupiñán, Juan Manuel Arango, and Fabián Castillo will serve as forwards.

The match promises to be exciting, especially since Bucaramanga aims to capitalize on their home advantage. Bettors have noted that despite Atlético Bucaramanga’s favored status, the match could end in a draw, similar to their last encounter which finished 0-0.

As anticipation builds, both teams are eager for a positive outcome. Deportivo Cali’s recent success adds confidence, but they’ll need to work hard against a motivated Bucaramanga side.
