Millonarios hosts Chico at El Campin looking to string together second straight win under Gamero

Millonarios returns to El Campin looking to string together back to back wins and build on the start of Alberto Gamero's second stint in charge. The opponent, Chico, arrives in rough shape after losing a direct relegation battle. The match is set for Saturday, September 19 at 2 PM in matchday 11 of Liga BetPlay and will air live on WIN.

Millonarios comes in riding the emotional boost of its first win in this new stage of the "Buffalo" on the bench: a 2-1 road victory over Cucuta Deportivo. It wasn't just the result. That win started to reveal the coach's fingerprints: wingers with more of a leading role and a better synchronized direct style of play. Something is falling into place in Bogota.

Gamero held nothing back describing how he wants his team to compete away from home:

This is going to be a team of warriors, of tough guys. Playing in Cucuta isn't easy, but my team came to go toe to toe. The players have to get used to going after the game wherever they play.Alberto Gamero

Now, back home, the goal is clear: grab all three points to stay among the top eight. Millonarios sits fourth with 16 points, though having played one more match than league leader America. The recent run has helped cool down the crisis surrounding the club just a few weeks ago, and that calm gives the coach some breathing room to work on the defensive lapses that are still showing up, without as much pressure.

Gamero himself was honest about what still needs polishing:

We're still missing a lot. We're doing well and it's good to fix things while winning, but there's a lot left to work on. The important thing is to fight for a playoff spot. We're going to keep improving.Alberto Gamero

Things look different on Chico's side. The Boyaca club sits 16th with eight points and is coming off a home loss in a direct relegation matchup against Alianza, a blow that tightens the schedule for the rest of the season.

Names to watch

At Millonarios all eyes are on Rodrigo Contreras, the Argentine who delivered the three points for the Bogota side late in the match against Cucuta and looks set to start on Saturday. On the visitors' side, Yesus Cabrera is Chico's offensive reference: one of the squad's most experienced players and the one who usually sparks the team's scoring.

The most recent meeting between the two sides favors the Boyaca club: they won 2-1 on the road on March 14, 2026, with goals from Arlen Banguero and Jairo Molina; Andres Llinas had scored the consolation goal for Millonarios. Something to keep in mind before kickoff this Saturday at El Campin.
