América de Cali 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.

These are hustling days for the home side, as they had a match only four days ago in the Liga BetPlay. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at La Equidad.
