America de Cali
- America de Cali have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions and sit in sixth place with 16 points from nine games.

- Veteran Carlos Darwin Quintero adds a touch of creativity and experience to the forward line and his teammates have been clinical in the penalty area, particularly Yeison Guzman who has scored 6 Primera A 2026 goals, including 4 of his side’s last 8.
Deportes Tolima
- Deportes Tolima have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 in all competitions, including a penalty shootout win in Copa Libertadores qualification, to stand eighth with 15 points from their opening nine games.

- Juan Pablo Torres is Tolima’s leading goal scorer in the Primera A 2026 with 3 goals from 7 appearances and is the main threat to the home side’s defence on Sunday.
