🚨Confirmed XIs: Nacional chase the invisible point against Junior | OneFootball

The Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in Barranquilla will today be the stage for the "modern classic" of Colombian football: Junior de Barranquilla versus Atlético Nacional, for matchday 5 of the semifinal quadrangulars of the Liga BetPlay II.

This match is do-or-die for Junior. The Tiburón team (3rd with 5 points) absolutely needs to win at home to keep their chances of qualifying for the final alive, after two consecutive draws. The support of their fans and the goal-scoring instinct of Carlos Bacca will be key to securing a victory that reopens the group.

Atlético Nacional (1st with 9 points), meanwhile, is the absolute leader of this quadrangular. The Verdolaga team arrives with the peace of mind of being just one point away from securing their place in the final, so a draw is enough. The Medellín side will look to take advantage of the local pressure and Junior's desperation to seal their qualification.

An intense and high-tension match is expected, with Junior throwing everything into attack and Nacional looking to be lethal on the counterattack.
