Junior Preview
Junior managed to get into the top eight at the end of the regular phase of the Colombian league, but so far they have not been able to take advantage of the opportunity of playing in such an important stage. They have not won in the first three matchdays played in the quadrangular, and they are the only team in their group without victories, a situation that place them at the bottom of their group.
At least in their most recent game they managed to get a draw, which gave them their first point after two consecutive defeats against Deportivo Pereira and Millonarios. Given the results, it is unlikely that it can become a title contender in the last two rounds, but at least it could avoid finishing in last place.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Sebastián Viera; Walmer Pacheco, José Ortiz, Jorge Arias, Edwin Velasco; Didier Moreno, Yeison Gordillo, Carlos Esparragoza, John Pajoy, Luis González; Carlos Bacca.
Independiente Santa Fe Preview
Independiente Santa Fe finished the regular phase as the overall leader after 10 wins, four draws and six defeats in 20 matches, and continues to prove that it is one of the best teams in the tournament as it has not lost in three matchdays of the quadrangular.
So far they register one win and two draws, and what stands out is their defensive order, as they have only conceded one goal in the three games, coming into this match with two consecutive clean sheets. If they want to become finalists, they must not lose points in their remaining matches, and this could be the least complicated one.
Absences: Carlos Moreno.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): José Silva, Edwin Herrera, Kevin Mantilla, Carlos Sánchez, Dairon Mosquera, Johan Torres, Harold Rivera, Jonathan Barboza, José Enamorado, Andrey Estupiñan, Wilson Morelo.
JefeBet Prediction
Junior’s only home game in the quadrangular ended in a 1-0 loss to Millonarios. However, as a home team in the regular phase, they were up to the task, winning six of their 10 games. They urge a victory and this is a golden opportunity for them to get their first three points.
Prediction: Junior wins by a score of 1-0.
