Envigado Preview
Two good wins in the last two games, has renewed Envigado’s hope of advancing to the next round of the tournament, getting three points away from qualification.
However, not everything is as simple as it seems , since with 22 points they are in thirteenth place, which means there are four other teams ahead of them that are also looking for a place in the next round. The good news? One of those clubs is their opponent this Monday: Junior FC.
For that reason, this match has added value. With a win they will equal them in points and would remain close to that coveted eighth place on the ranking, currently occupied by Deportivo Pereira, with 25 points with a game less. The problem for Envigado is that, at the Polideportivo Sur, their performances have been inconsistent in the last five games, having a record of three wins and two losses.
In the last ten games, the situation has worsened even more: three wins, three draws and four losses.
Envigado’s possible lineup (4-3-3): Joan Parra; Daniel Londoño, Carlos Ordóñez, Yilmar Celedón, Yeferson Rodallega; Juan Manuel Zapata, Diego Moreno, Iván Rojas; Rubio César España, Jesús Hernández, Henry Mosquera.
Junior FC Preview
Junior has one of the easiest schedules in the tournament in the last three games, but they must achive a victory against Envigado this Monday.
With 10 points from their last five games, the Sharks have climbed to ninth place in the standings and have the same 25 points as Pereira, who are eight with one game in hand.
The best news is that from second to seventh place all the teams have 28 points, so a win would put Junior in the fight for a spot in the quadrangulars. Especially, taking into account that they close against Cortuluá and Jaguares de Córdoba, two of the worst teams in the Clausura.
After failing to win in their first seven away games, with three draws and four defeats, they have won their last two away games.
Possible Junior FC lineup (4-2-3-1): Sebastián Viera; Walmer Pacheco, Dany Rosero, José Ortiz, Edwin Velasco; Didier Moreno, Yeison Gordillo; Fabián Sambueza, Luis González, Edwin Cetre; Carmelo Valencia.
JefeBet Prediction
While both teams are in desperate need of three points, history between the two clubs suggests a very close result that could end in a draw. Of the last the encounters, only two have had two goals or more, while four of them ended in a tie.
Prediction: Tie (ENV 1 – JUN 1).
