The team led by Renato Paiva knows that a victory at the Manuel Murillo Toro would be essential to remain at the top of the standings in their group and gradually ensure their presence in the next round of the tournament.
In the first round of the Copa Libertadores they defeated América Mineiro as a visitor, then tied with Deportes Tolima at home and in their most recent game against Atlético Mineiro they also gave up points at their stadium.
Despite the fact that they have not lost since the middle of April, they must win today against one of the strongest teams in Colombia to be able to stay at the top of zone D. In the local tournament they are doing well since they are second with 20 units, just two behind Barcelona, which commands the first category of Ecuadorian soccer with 22 points.
