Junior F.C - Coming off Back-to-Back Defeats (LLWLD)

Going in the matchup, Junior F.C. is coming off back-to-back defeats against Envigado (1-2) and Tolima (1-0). Junior FC has only managed to secure a win in the competition so far, which is why it stands at the bottom of the points table. Moreover, Envigado has only managed to score only 2 goals in the last 5 matches played. Secondly, Junior F.C. has conceded just 4 goals, averaging 0.8 goals. Hence, it could be depicted that Junior F.C. has managed to play with a very refined defense. However, in order to win, Junior F.C. will have to expedite its goal-scoring form and play positively. With the presence of Luis Sandoval, Juan Quintero, and Omar Albornoz in the lineup, Junior F.C. can produce a match-winning performance at home. 

Independiente Santa Fe - Coming off a Clean Sheet Win Against America de Cali (WWLDW)

Going in the matchup, Santa Fe is coming off a win against America de Cali (2-0), in which Jose Enamorado and Jose Aja scored goals. Progressing with a formation of 4-2-3-1, much will depend on the likes of Sambueza, Rivera, and Ivan Rojas. Santa Fe has scored 7 goals in the last 5 matches played, averaging 1.4 goals per game. If we look at the conceding average of Santa Fe, it has managed to minimize it to just 0.5 goals. If Santa Fe manages to curtail the goal-scoring options of the opposition, we might observe a low-scoring thriller. For Sant Fe, Dairon Mosquera and Wilfrido De La Rosa will be in the spotlight for scoring.
