Independiente Medellin (8th)

Last Match: D

The Paisa Reds suffered a narrow defeat against San Lorenzo in the Copa Sudamericana which was red card studded, despite having ten shots without registering one on target. The 67th minute goal registered by Adam Bareiro crushed the spirits of the boys who failed to get an equalizer before the end of full time. They returned to the league to settle for a 2-2 draw against La Equidad. The second leg against San Lorenzo worsened in the 0-2 defeat. Against the guests, they are considered as favorites to clinch victory, despite the fact that a stalemate lurks around the corner.

Junior FC (16th)

Last Match: L

Junior FC played the last two games of the Apertura with the mindset of avoiding losses, however succumbing to a defeat after the 55th-minute red card. The 77th-minute penalty given to the opponents worsened the strain on the hosts who faced a home humiliation, despite being favoured at home. The odds are stacked against the guests for this game and goals are expected to be few. A tie is very much feasible before half time if the hosts show colors of resilience.
