Team analysis: Once Caldas

Currently languishing in 20th position, Once Caldas has recorded 9 wins, 6 draws, and 12 losses so far, without any points to their name. Their last match saw them fall to Fortaleza CEIF (2-1), following a home defeat to Atletico Nacional (1-3) in the previous fixture. They did, however, manage a resounding home win against San Antonio Bulo Bulo (4-0) before these losses. In the league, Once Caldas has garnered just 14 points from 30 possible, with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses over the last 10 home games. Their defence has been leaky, allowing goals in 7 of those matches, though their attack has been reasonably consistent, finding the net in 7 of the last 10 games. The trend for their home matches shows a tendency for high-scoring games, with 10 out of 14 resulting in more than 2.5 goals. Notably, in 27 league matches, they managed only 3 comebacks from being behind after conceding the first goal.

Once Caldas faces a challenging period, struggling to impose themselves and lacking dominance even at home. Coming off two consecutive defeats, they will need to adopt a more aggressive strategy against Junior, as they must prioritise securing all three points in this encounter.

Team analysis: Junior

The visiting side currently sits in 2nd place, having accumulated 6 points from 3 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they claimed victory against Rionegro Águilas (3-2), followed by a strong home performance against Unión Magdalena (4-1). Overall, Junior has captured 11 points from 30 possible, registering 3 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses in their last 10 away games. Their defence has not been particularly solid, conceding in 9 of those matches. In 29 matches this season, they only managed to come from behind in 2 of the 10 games where they conceded the first goal.

Junior boasts impressive statistics even on the road, displaying a strong mentality that helps them compete at the top of the Clausura table. With a talented squad and experienced management, they are well poised to secure another positive result against a struggling opponent.
