Junior FC locks horns with Union Magdalena in hopes of winning three points from this clash. Both sides approach the game with similar form in recent games, stalemates. In the previous five clashes between the sides, there have been three stalemates, with a narrow win for either side. The onus for triumph in this game points towards the better team - even though critics point towards a low-scoring contest or a first-half stalemate.
Union Magdalena (18th)
Last Two Matches: D-L
Los Samarios have not had enough luck in the opening two games, dropping points in one and staking a stalemate in another. The opening game against Atletico Huila resulted in a 1-2 defeat. While they tried to snatch three points from hosting side Enviagado, they saw their efforts frustrated to a 0-0 outcome, despite a dozen shots on goal. Fans look toward Claudio Rodriguez, the Head Coach to pull in all strings towards this game as they plunge further down the table in despair.
Junior FC (18th)
Last Match: D-L-L
Junior FC faces a similar, but worse fate in the closing group of games of the Categoria Primera. They lost to Los Dorados Aguilas in the opening group of the game by conceding a 0-1 defeat at fulltime, then went on against the Medellin giants and suffered another 0-1 loss. They visited Cucuta Deportivio and were beaten to a 4-3 defeat before returning to the league against Bucaramanga where they managed a 1-1 stalemate. In this game, they are tipped to settle another stalemate if they allow the pangs of redundancy to continue their course.
