Junior haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Deportivo Pasto, 66 days ago. There’s a good atmosphere here at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez after three straight home wins.

The manager J. Comesaña López will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Coquimbo Unido in only three days.
