Background
The purslane team rode in the free-for-all phase and, with 42 points, qualified for this phase of the championship with anticipation and sufficiency.
For its part, the Barranquilla club arrived at this stage as the fourth best in the first stage of the tournament, with 33 units.
These are two of the most expensive payrolls in the country, so the expectation is total. The duel will begin this Saturday, at 8:00 pm
Atlético Nacional comes with the motivation of having won the Copa Colombia this week, with an aggregate score of 5-1 against Deportivo Pereira, nothing less than the 30th title in its rich history.
What’s new in payroll
In Nacional there are four sensitive casualties for this duel: Danovis Banguero, who suffered a contusion in his right knee; Geisson Perea, who suffers a hamstring tendon injury; Hayen Palacio for a muscle contracture in the left anterior rectus and Baldomero Perlaza, for a right ankle injury that will keep him out for three months.
On the other hand, Junior comes to this duel without injury problems and with the return of two important men: Fredy Hinestroza fulfilled his sanction date for accumulating yellow cards and Carmelo Valencia overcame a strain in his right knee.
