There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Copa Libertadores match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Santa Fe, so at least Junior are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Millonarios have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
