Team analysis: Junior

With 14 wins, 10 draws, and 8 losses, the home side is currently in 1st position with 14 points. Their last outing ended in a 1-1 draw against Envida (away), following a solid 2-0 home victory against Boyacá Chicó in the previous match. Over their last 10 matches at home in the league, Junior has accumulated 20 points from a possible 30, showcasing a record of 6 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. Notably, they have seen many of their home matches end 1-0 at half-time—this occurred in 6 of the last 15 games. Although defensively they have faltered at times, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10, their overall performance remains strong. In their last 15 home fixtures, 4 of their 11 goals conceded occurred in the latter stages of the first half (31’–45′).

Junior Barranquilla is enjoying a brilliant spell in the Clausura, remaining unbeaten and displaying consistent form both at home and away. With a solid defence and an attack capable of capitalising on scoring opportunities, the team typically seeks to impose themselves early, controlling possession and dictating the flow of the match. Given their current performance and cohesive style, Junior Barranquilla stands as the clear favourite to secure another three points in this matchup.

Team analysis: Bucaramanga

Featuring 10 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses, the visiting team occupies 9th place with 7 points. Their last match saw them defeat Santa Fe 2-1 at home, followed by a 3-1 victory against Alianza Petrolera in their previous away fixture. Over the last 10 matches as visitors, Bucaramanga has garnered 15 points from 30 possible, registering 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. The most common half-time result in their away games has been 1-0 (4 in 11 matches). They have, however, been vulnerable defensively, allowing goals in 9 of their last 10 outings, although their attack has found the net regularly in this competition, scoring in 9 of those matches. In a total of 24 matches, they conceded the first goal on 10 occasions and only managed to overturn the score twice. Notably, in their last 11 away matches in this competition, 5 of their 14 goals came between the 31st and 45th minutes, and another 5 between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Atlético Bucaramanga may be having a middling season, but the context matters as they have played two to three games less than most opponents. Coupled with their recent back-to-back victories, this has kept the squad motivated to face a challenging encounter. The team aims to maintain a balanced approach, working to neutralise Junior’s strengths while looking for opportunities on the counter. Although they are up against an unbeaten leader, Bucaramanga arrives with confidence, hoping to pull off an upset away from home.
