Junior Preview
The team, once again coached by Julio Comesaña, has shown that its hierarchy is strong, despite the difficulties. Los Barranquilleros currently occupy 14th place in the league with 25 points, the result of 7 wins, 4 ties, and 7 losses. Although they are far from the eighth position, they still have a chance to qualify for the quadrangulars, but they must win their remaining games with a good goal difference.
In their most recent league game against Envigado, “los tiburones” were surprised by 2-0 with goals from Santiago Jimenez and Diego Moreno. In this Junior vs Cortuluá, the “currambas” cannot repeat the defensive mistakes of the last match; otherwise, they would be out of the next round of the FPC.
Possible Junior lineup (4-4-2): Sebastián Viera, Walmer Pacheco, Daniel Rosero, José Ortiz, Edwin Velasco, Daniel Giraldo, Didier Moreno, Luis González, Fabián Sambueza, John Pajoy, Carmelo Valencia.
Cortuluá Preview
Cortuluá is going through perhaps the most difficult moment for a club: relegation. The heart of the valley was broken due to the bad results that were not enough to fight the ghost of the B division. This Junior vs Cortuluá is a commitment in which the visitors hope, more than anything else, to make their shield respected. On the last day of the FPC, the team coached by Fernando Velasco lost 1-0 against Deportes Tolima.
Currently, the “vallecaucanos” are at the bottom of the standings with 2 wins, 4 ties, and 12 losses. With their latest loss, they have now gone 5 consecutive dates without a win. The team’s situation, including management, is very complicated and its leaders have even considered changing the club’s corporate name to better adapt its infrastructure.
Possible Cortuluá lineup (4-3-3): Ernesto Hernández, Cristian Mosquera, Hárold Cummings, Julian Millan, Henry Rojas, Jean Carlos Colorado, Luis Caicedo, Juan Manuel Valencia, Wilder Guisao, Juan Herrera, Kevin Palacios.
JefeBet Prediction
In this exciting and nostalgic clash between Junior vs Cortuluá, we believe that the victory will go to “el tiburón”. Their hopes of qualifying, together with their superb roster, will make the locals leave everything to survive. In addition, they will face an injured and defeated Cortuluá.
Prediction: Junior wins 2-0.
