Jaguares
- CD Jaguares de Cordoba have been in inconsistent form with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches, but at home, they have looked pretty solid with both of their wins in their last two outings in Montería.
- Jaguares are a pragmatic team that sets up with a three-man defensive line and two wing backs, aiming to be as compact as possible and counter-punching when they win the ball back.
- Andres Renteria is their main threat, with three goals in six Primera A appearances and three of Jaguares’ last five goals.
Junior FC
- Junior FC have also been in patchy form with three wins and two losses in their last five, but Alfredo Arias’ well-organised, attack-minded 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 system, which brought them the league title last season, seems to have returned to Barranquilla.
- Luis Muriel is once again leading the line and has four Primera A goals in seven appearances, while his team have scored seven goals in four away matches this season.

- Junior FC have won two and drawn two of the last four Primera A head-to-head meetings with Jaguares.
