Deportes Tolima will play their second home game of the Copa Libertadores group stage against America Mineiro at Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro in Ibague on Wednesday.

Deportes Tolima have garnered seven points from two victories and one draw, trailing leaders of Group D Atletico Mineiro by one point. With two more matches left to play, the Colombian team are hoping to grab enough points for a round of 16 qualification.

America Mineiro are unlikely to stand in their way. El Vinotinto y Oro won the first leg 3-2 at Belo Horizonte and are billed to make a similar or stronger statement at home on Wednesday.

America Mineiro have little left to fight for in the campaign. The Brazilian side have lost three matches and managed a draw. They sit bottom of Group D with one point. With eight goals already conceded, reviving their campaign appears to be a tall order. Coelho are not yet eliminated despite having the fewest points. However, their form and performance so far does not indicate good prospects.

America Mineiro pulled off a shock on the third matchday when they held leaders Atletico Mineiro to a 1-1 draw at home.

Deportes Tolima vs America Mineiro Prediction

Deportes Tolima’s next outing is a top-of-the-table clash against Atletico Mineiro. El Vinotinto y Oro are not favored to succeed in Belo Horizonte. A comfortable home win against America Mineiro seems to be the safest bet. Third-placed Independiente del Valle are not out of the picture. They will pounce on any setbacks from the upcoming game.

Deportes Tolima have full confidence in their side following their away victory in the first fixture. They are expected to win in Ibague.

Prediction: Deportes Tolima 3-1 America Mineiro
