The league table is allowed to rest as Real Santander and Boyacá Chicó battle for Copa Betplay honors in this first 3rd Round leg of two fixtures.
Boyacá Chicó could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Primera A game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Santa Fe. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
