It's quite the trip for Junior FC when visiting América de Cali as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Colombia. That game, against Atlético Nacional, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Junior FC.
