In the first encounter between the two teams, they are evenly matched psychologically. Although Deportivo Tachira F.C. started the new season with a victory, boosting morale, and scored 8 goals in their last 5 away matches, showing solid offensive performance, and managed to secure points with 2 wins and 3 draws in away games, their away defense conceded 5 goals, which is average. Overall, their away strength is unlikely to compete with The Strongest's home field advantage. Considering the offensive and defensive characteristics of both teams and the home advantage, a victory for The Strongest is recommended.
