Defeating Alianza Petrolera this Sunday (4:00 pm) in Barrancabermeja is the slogan of América de Cali to stay alive on the third date of the B quadrangular of the BetPlay II-2021 League and continue to fuel their aspirations to reach the final.
After their 2-0 defeat in Ibagué, the Valle del Cauca team was left with 3 points, the same as Millonarios, but 3 below the ‘pijaos’, so they cannot give more ground, first taking the three points and the He hopes that Tolima and Millonarios tie in the ‘Musical Capital’ of Colombia.
The figures indicate that America is much better visitor than home, and that is what the ‘devils’ cling to to make a good presentation against a team that plays well and is very fast in attack.
The concern remains if Juan Carlos Osorio will return to the starting line-up that gave him good results in previous days since the laboratory he did in Ibagué with seven new faces did not work for him, in addition to the fact that Jerson Malagón was expelled just at minute 3.
The clear thing is that he must be very careful with the generation of Alianza Petrolera’s game at the feet of Cléider Alzate and John Pérez, as well as the speed and effectiveness of Bayron Garcés, but trusting in what Deinner Quiñones, Jeison Lucumí, Adrián can do Ramos, Gustavo Torres, Émerson Batalla and Joao Rodríguez.
Losing in Barrancabermeja in this short bracket would be a disastrous result for America, which in this way would begin to say goodbye to the option of reaching the final.
