Motivated by their qualification in the round of 16 of the BetPlay Cup against Santa Fe, this Saturday (8:00 pm) a new illusion begins for América de Cali in its goal of retaining the title won in the second half of last year.
The ‘devils’ will receive Nacional in Pascual with their sights set on a victory, although for this they will have to substantially improve aspects that have not favored them as hosts, since they lost 0-2 to Nacional and 1-2 to Equidad consecutively.
Nothing changed after the Patriotas demand for the registration of the substitute goalkeeper, Juan Diego Jaramillo, in the game they lost 3-0 in Cali, and the scarlet squad focuses on a rival that it was beating for 80 minutes in Medellín, but Due to his defensive errors, he ended up giving up two points, on October 18 at date 15.
In the anteroom, it will be the confrontation of two groups of tradition, but present irregular, and in these conditions the advantage is wanted by the premises, removing the doubts that have been emerging under the command of Juan Cruz Real. Both benefited from the judicial liquidation of Cúcuta, winning their last three points on the desk.
Rafael Carrascal was sanctioned for three dates with his expulsion before Equidad and Juan Pablo Segovia completed five yellow cards, which would lead to deduce that Felipe Jaramillo and Pablo Ortiz would be supplying them, although that question will be resolved hours before the match.
Hence, experienced players will have to appear in whom the little hope that at this moment accompanies the massive Red fans will have to appear, who in any case want their team to come out ahead against a staunch rival.
Taking into account the connection that Baldomero Perlaza and Vladimir Hernández may have in the middle of the court, it is likely that Felipe Jaramillo and Rodrigo Ureña will go as containment flyers, since the other with brand characteristics such as Luis Alejandro Paz accumulates four yellow cards and he could miss the second leg at Atanasio Girardot.
The responsibility for the attack will fall again on Duván Vergara and Adrián Ramos, while the doubt is in the third piece, which could be Yesus Cabrera, Santiago Moreno or John Arias, who are not going through a good time.
