While at Deportivo Cali there is happiness and a lot of optimism because it is one step away from the final of the League, with a comfortable advantage over the other teams in Group A, in America there is notorious concern because the numbers are in the red and the team it stands on the edge of the abyss.
The ‘Azucareros’ are undefeated in their area, they have two wins and a draw; on the scarlet sides there are already two losses in line and only one triumph.
The outlook for Deportivo Cali could become much clearer tomorrow when he visits a Nacional who is on the razor’s edge.
For America, on the other hand, there is an obligation to win on Thursday against the Petroleum Alliance to square the box a bit.
This is the picture.
Cali, before its great opportunity
Deportivo Cali will face Nacional tomorrow in Medellín, with the illusion that a victory would leave them at the gates of the final and eliminate the Paisa team.
“Without a doubt, it will be a key game because it will serve, in case of winning, to open a significant gap in points over the other teams,” goalkeeper Guillermo de Amores said yesterday in La Tocata, on Facebook Live of El País.
And is that the Uruguayan goalkeeper pointed out what are the claims of the Verdiblanco team: “In a big club like Deportivo Cali, the goal is to be champion. We are betting on that, we have not achieved anything, but we are on the right track ”.
Deportivo Cali, after facing Nacional, will host Atlético Junior at home, and then finish off with Deportivo Pereira at the Hernán Ramírez stadium.
The ‘Azucareros’ depend on their own football.
America, with the rope around my neck
America loses four points in relation to the leader of Group B, Deportes Tolima.
For the reds of Cali to once again have a real chance of fighting for the place in the final, they need to beat Alianza Petrolera on Thursday in Pascual Guerrero, and then wait for the match between Millonarios and Tolima, in El Campín de Bogotá, there is a tie or a triumph of the capital box.
This would tighten the table and leave the definition of the winner of the quota for the final in the two remaining matches.
The reds would have to play with Millonarios in Bogotá and with Tolima in Pascual Guerrero.
If the result of Thursday’s game against Petrolera is a draw or, in the worst case scenario, a scarlet defeat, America would have practically no options to think about a place in the final.
Reds depend on other results.
Highlights
The fourth date of the home runs will begin tomorrow: at 5:00 pm Junior and Pereira will play, and at 7:30 pm Nacional and Cali will play.
Group B will have action on Thursday: at 6:00 pm America will receive Alianza, and at 8:05 pm Millonarios and Tolima will collide.
