Going in the matchup, Rionegro Aguilas is coming off a competitive draw against Deportivo Cali (1-1), in which Jaen Pineda scored the first goal in the 46th minute of play. However, they couldn’t do much after Deportivo Cali scored the equalizer in the 55th minute. For the upcoming fixture, Jean Fuentes will be unavailable due to a red card suspension.
