Our correct score prediction is a 2-0 victory for Atlético Huila. The statistical evidence paints a very clear picture for this match. Atlético Huila’s dominance at home, particularly their defensive solidity, is the single most important factor. They are almost impenetrable at the Estadio Guillermo Plazas Alcid.
