- Alfredo Arias has instilled his trademark aggressive, proactive tactics since taking over at Junior in June 2025, with the team winning the ball back high up the pitch regularly thanks to high pressing lines and fullbacks that push forward.
- Their home record in the competition in 2026 is two wins, one draw and two defeats from five, and they have conceded an average of 1.60 goals per game on their own patch.
Fortaleza FC
- Fortaleza FC are 11th in Primera A 2026 with 14 points from the same number of fixtures.
- Fortaleza, meanwhile, are much more structured in their defensive approach, opting for a low-to-mid block of players, with Sebastian Oliveros’ men looking to keep things simple on the ball and exploit their numerical advantage on the break or from set-piece situations.
- Fortaleza are without a win on the road in Primera A 2026, recording three draws and two defeats from their last 5 away matches, but have scored five goals in that sequence.
