Tiburón Aims for Third Consecutive Win Against Struggling Rival

Cartagena, Colombia — Tiburón is set to play against Escobar in the sixth round of Liga BetPlay on February 24, 2025. Following two consecutive victories, Tiburón’s coach, Farías, is optimistic about securing a third win at home, where the fans are eager to see their team perform.
With a strategy focused on leveraging recent successes, Farías has made significant lineup changes. Star forward Teo Gutiérrez, a fan-favorite making his fourth stint with the club, will begin the match on the bench but is expected to make an appearance in the second half. This decision comes as the team seeks to maintain their momentum against one of the league’s weaker teams.
The expected starting lineup for Tiburón includes goalkeeper Mele, along with defenders Guerrero, Báez, Cuenú, and Navia. The midfield will feature Vélez and Colorado, while the front line will consist of Enamorado, Castrillón, Chará, and veteran striker Carlos Bacca.
On the opposing side, Escobar will line up with Uribe in goal, supported by defenders Palacios, Ramírez, Murillo, and Dawson. Their midfield will comprise Palacios, Hinestroza, López, and Garcés, indicating a more conservative approach against the home team.
The match presents a crucial opportunity for Tiburón to solidify their position in the standings, while also giving Gutiérrez the chance to reassert his impact in front of his hometown fans. As Farías prepares his squad, all eyes will be on how the game unfolds at the Metro stadium.
