Junior FC host Deportivo Pereira in a game where both are near the bottom of the table and need points to pull away from the lower zone. The hosts' most recent match was a 2-2 comeback draw, a game in which they fell behind first and had to fight their way back. The visitors, meanwhile, have just come off a 0-0 with no goals. The hosts have scored 18 goals in 12 matches but have conceded 22, a team whose attack is serviceable but whose defence gives things away too easily. The visitors have the opposite problem: they have scored just 7 goals and have not won in 5 straight, yet they still pick up draws often because their defence holds together as a unit. This game is likely to see the hosts dominate the ball and push forward, while the visitors sit back and wait to counter. If the hosts score early the game will open up, but if they still cannot break through in the first half, the visitors will find more space in the middle after the break and the game will become even more stifling.
