The Millonarios team comes to this game after a 1-1 draw against Envigado. It was a game with two very different halves. The 1st half would be dominated by the Millonarios team, which would have more ball possession and more opportunities. Even so, the Envigado team would be the first to reach the goal, in the 14th minute. With the dominance and offensive pressure created, the Millonarios team ended up reaching a draw in the 40th minute. In the 2nd half, the Envigado team would be much superior, even with the Millonarios team not achieving any shot at the opponent's goal in the 2nd half. Still, the teams would end up canceling each other out and the points would be shared. With this result, the Millonarios team is in 15th place in the table, with 12 points. In the last 5 league games, the team recorded 1 draw and 4 defeats, having scored 11 goals and conceded 12. Despite not being a victory, the Millonarios team finally managed to break their negative cycle of defeats, now hoping to continue adding points.

The Deportivo Cali team comes into this game after a 0-1 loss against Patriotas. The Deportivo Cali team entered the match more dominant, however they soon suffered a major setback. At 22' into the game the team would be reduced to 10 players, with Cabezas expelled. Even so, the Cali team would manage to maintain its offensive pressure and dominance. But it would be the Patriotas team that reached the goal, in the 37th minute, through Alarcon. After that, the Deportivo Cali team's dominance would be even greater. Still in the 1st half, the team would have a goal disallowed at 42' by VAR and a penalty missed at 45+6'. In the 2nd half, the Deportivo Cali team would once again have the same dominance, but would not be able to create as many opportunities. After the break, the Patriotas team arrived more organized defensively and would be able to hold on to the result until the end. With this result, the Deportivo Cali team is in 10th place in the table, with 14 points. In the last 5 league games, the team recorded 1 win and 4 defeats, having scored 16 goals and conceded 15. The team is in a negative circle and needs to return to score any points fast, or it can go lower in the table.
