The squad of the ‘Red Devils’ needs a victory by the minimum difference to equalize the series and thus fight to stay in international competition. The positive part for coach Juan Carlos Osorio is that he has had time to work and refine details, since it will be exactly one week since the first leg.
Let us remember that before the setback in the South American, América de Cali had added two wins in a row in the BetPlay League of Colombia (2-0 over Once Caldas and 1-0 once morest Deportivo Cali), results with which the losing streak of five games without celebrating (three losses and two draws).
The irregularity has been an inconvenience for the team, although that has not prevented some players from standing out. This is the case of Carlos Sierra, who is the top scorer of the season, with three goals in the domestic competition; while Adrián Ramos has the same figure, two in the Colombian tournament and one for the South American.
For its part, Independiente de Medellín has starred in a curious statistic: they did not draw during this 2022. Since January 23, when they beat Deportes Tolima 1-0 in the BetPlay League, the club has interspersed a win and a loss so far. This trend raises concern among fans, given that the squad is not strong enough to reap two positive results in a row.
The experienced coach Julio Comesaña is aware of this detail and plans the appropriate strategy, so as not to lose the advantage obtained. The key will be to take advantage of scoring chances to complicate the rival and the Argentine Luciano Pons (seven goals this season) will be the leader in the sector.
