This Thursday it will be delivered to the second finalist of the League and rival of Deportivo Cali in the dispute for the year-end star. Although Deportes Tolima arrives with the first option, Millonarios also plays the possibility of accessing the final. Not only will he have to beat America, but he also expects a result in the other place; the pijaos cannot add against the Alianza Petrolera in Ibagué. Goal difference will also be a key factor.
Alberto Gamero’s team did their homework in Barrancabermeja over the weekend and managed to get to the last date of the home runs with chances. Although it does not depend only on their effort, but also on the “help” that Alianza Petrolera can give them, at the end of the day they come up with options to fight the final and they are psyched on that. Anything can happen.
While Millonarios, already classified for Copa Libertadores 2022, will seek to advance to its second consecutive final, those led by Juan Carlos Osorio, without much to lose, only hope to close the year with a victory that will serve as a consolation prize. Many are playing continuity with the ‘Red Devils’, including DT. It should be remembered that the scarlets will end up with one of the places in South America. They are sixth in the reclassification with 65 points behind Tolima, Millonarios, Nacional, Cali and Junior.
Who arrives with the statistics in their favor? In the last five clashes between blues and reds, America has won two games and Millionaires one; the other two ended in a goalless draw. Precisely, the most recent duel between the two teams ended 2-1 at Pascual Guerrero with goals from Adrián Ramos and Joao Rodríguez, after Macalister Silva overtook Gamero’s. The reds came back in less than five minutes and on the finish of the match.
In the last five games that Millonarios played at home, they did not have very favorable results either. They barely won one: 3-1 by League 2018-I. In the 2019 opening playoffs, the Scarlets won 1-2 and in the second half they repeated the story on date 17 of the regular season. They met again in the quarterfinals of League 2021-I, a duel that ended 0-0, and that had to be transferred to Ibagué. The same score was registered in League 2021-II for matchday 13.
The good news for the Albiazules is the return of Felipe Román, who missed the match in Barrancabermeja due to an ankle problem. The side is the main novelty in the list of 20 summoned for this Thursday. On the other hand, Gamero decided to include Christian Vargas on the list for Juan Moreno. The rest of the payroll will be the same that was used against Alianza.
