Medellín Faces Águilas in Key Match on October 8

MEDELLÍN, Colombia — Medellín will host Águilas on Wednesday, October 8, at the Polideportivo Sur stadium. The match is set to kick off at 3:30 PM local time and will be broadcast live on WIN.

Medellín is currently fifth in the league standings with 24 points. A victory, especially by five goals, could propel them to the top spot and improve their chances of qualifying for the playoff round, the cuadrangulares. In contrast, Águilas sits at 15th place with 14 points, and a loss would eliminate their playoff hopes.

Veteran striker, who has scored 38 goals, aims to lead Medellín to victory against “El Poderoso.” He recently scored in a defeat against Unión Magdalena but previously helped his team reach the semifinals of the Copa Colombia with a double against Santa Fe. His current form is crucial for Medellín’s chances of success.

Águilas suffered a recent defeat against Santa Marta, ending a three-match undefeated streak. At home, they have recorded two wins, one draw, and two losses, scoring 10 goals while conceding eight.

In their last five matches, Medellín has performed well, securing three wins and two draws. They hold the second-best offensive record in the FPC with 24 goals and have a strong away game record featuring five wins and one loss this season. The two teams previously met on March 29, 2025, ending in a scoreless draw.

The upcoming match on October 8 is critical for both teams as they fight for playoff positions.
