Deportivo Cali host Junior FC in a league game where each side needs something different. The hosts are chasing the top of the table and have 14 more points than the other side from the same number of matches, while the visitors sit at the bottom of the table and need points to lift themselves clear of the lower zone. Deportivo Cali are unbeaten in 5 straight league matches, and their defence is what has kept them standing here, conceding only 9 goals in 13 matches and keeping several clean sheets to the point where opponents can only hold the game together. Junior FC, meanwhile, have won only 2 of 13 matches, with their defence the main leak, especially the back-to-back 1-3 defeats that showed when they come under sustained pressure they struggle to hold their shape. This game is likely to see the hosts with the ball and forced to be the side opening up on the attack, while Junior FC are likely to drop deep and wait for occasional counter-attacking moments. If Deportivo Cali score first from a sustained attacking move, the pattern will tilt fully toward the hosts, and the visitors, who concede easily, will find it harder and harder to stay in the game.
