Happy days for Junior in their previous game, a Liga BetPlay match away at Once Caldas (placed 15th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Independiente Medellin in a game that was won 1-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
