Junior Preview
The team from Barranquilla played one of the strangest games in recent years against Deportivo Pereira. With a final score of 4-3, Junior lost to a tough Pereira team, who took the three points with personality. Despite their constant efforts to equalize, several unfortunate events, such as the infantile expulsions suffered by two of their players, made the night in Pereira one to forget.
For this Junior vs Millonarios, which has been a repetitive duel this season, Julio Comesaña is expected to order his players properly to take their first three points. For this match, the Curambas will be without their goalkeeper and captain Sebastián Viera and their experienced striker, Carlos Bacca, both due to expulsion.
Possible lineup: J{eferssonMartínez; Walmer Pacheco, César Haydar, José Ortiz, Edwin Velasco; Yeison Gordillo, Didier Moreno, Carlos Esparragoza; Edwin Cetré, Luis González, Carmelo Valencia.
Millonarios Preview
The Millonarios did not have the best start in this quadrangular phase, and it is expected to improve in this Junior vs Millonarios. In their most recent match against Independiente Santa Fe, the team coached by Alberto Gamero drew 1-1. The match began as a nightmare for the Blues, as Andrey Estupiñán gave the Cardenal team the lead. Then, in the second half, a rebound taken by David Mackalister Silva brought the equalizer.
Minutes later, Millos had a chance to take the lead with a shot from the penalty spot, but José Silva, Santa Fe’s goalkeeper and star of the match, saved it. Although the Millonarios had most of the ball possession and most of the shots on goal, the lack of effectiveness once again affected the team from the capital.
It is expected that for the Junior vs Millonarios match, Gamero’s team (more rested) will be able to adjust their offensive mistakes and manage to achieve their first victory in this quadrangular.
Possible lineup: Álvaro Montero; Israel Alba, Andrés Llinás, Juan Pablo Vargas, Omar Bertel; Andrés Gómez, Larry Vásquez, Daniel Cataño, David Mackalister, Daniel Ruiz; Luis Carlos Ruiz.
JefeBet Prediction
Taking into account the fateful night that Comesaña’s team had in Pereira and their losses, in addition to the accumulated fatigue of several Millonarios players and how difficult it is to play in Barranquilla, we believe that this match between Junior and Millonarios will end in a draw.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
