The coastal team, which comes from a 2-0 victory over Rionegro Águilas at the Daniel Villa Zapata stadium in Barrancabermeja, is currently in 16th place with 19 points, two more than their opponent, and a victory would bring them very close to the top eight group.
However, things have not gone very well for the 'yellow machine' in their away games to the point that on April 21 they completed a year without winning away from their home. Alianza's last away win was in Manizales when they defeated Once Caldas 2-0.
Therefore, Alianza Petrolera will need to be very focused in order to stop this poor record and at the same time maintain the hope of playing in the quarterfinals of the League.
