⭐ Editorial Prediction
Deportivo Cali are considered favourites for this match, and there are good reasons for that. The hosts are in excellent form, sit second in the league and have been producing considerably more convincing results than their opponents. They will also have the backing of their own supporters, which adds another advantage. Atlético Junior, for their part, are struggling badly away from home and have not been playing well enough to expect a positive result against one of the league's leading sides. Our pick is a Deportivo Cali win.
