It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Sudamericana. That game, against Unión La Calera, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Junior.
Junior have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

When playing at home in the Liga BetPlay, América de Cali, who have the the best goal difference (+5) at home in Liga BetPlay, have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 0 defeats from 4 games. Game days at Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for América as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Happy days for América in their previous game, a Liga BetPlay match away at Atletico Nacional that ended with a 3-0 victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to Atletico Nacional (1-2).
