The champion dreams of the two-time championship
Arturo Reyes’ team has a chance to be in the final and will fight to make them count. After what he experienced last semester, when he beat all the odds, he became a finalist and snatched the star from Medellín on the hour, in the Apertura Tournament he has license to dream and more in such an even home run in which, In fact, all teams can get eight points.
Junior, who must win, has just beaten Bucaramanga 1-0 with Carlos Bacca’s goal in Barranquilla, a result that allowed him to reach eight points to place second in Group A, led by Deportivo Pereira with the same score , so they need to do their job against Millonarios in El Campín and hopefully with a victory by a good number of goals to ensure passage through that tiebreaker item in case the Matecañas also win their match.
If they win in Bogotá by any score and Leonel Álvarez’s team draws or loses, Tiburón will also get a place in the final, but if they tie against Millonarios, the only thing that helps them is if Bucaramanga beats Pereira, thus they would advance with nine points, one more than matecañas and leopards.
The red and white team has the best of its roster, with the exception of Víctor Cantillo, who was injured in the match with Botafogo in midweek, in which they tied without goals to qualify as first in their group in the Copa Libertadores. In the absence of a midfielder, Homer Martínez appears as the first option to replace him, although Cariaco González is not ruled out due to the urgency of winning.
