The 'cardenales' face, at 7:00 p.m. at El Campín, the Venezuelan team Táchira in the second leg match for the second round.
After the 2-3 victory in the first leg a week ago, with goals from William Tesillo and a brace from Wilson Morelo, the team coached by Uruguayan Gregorio Pérez arrives with the advantage of the result to secure a spot among the clubs that advance to the third phase, in which they would face the Chilean team Santiago Wanderers.
To face this challenge, Gregorio Pérez will field his best lineup, with no absences and with the confirmation of goalkeeper Leandro Castellanos, who returned to the starting eleven since the injury he suffered in the semifinal of the Liga Águila II 2017 against Deportes Tolima.
Junior, on the other hand, will seek, from 9:15 p.m., to defeat Olimpia from Paraguay by enough goals to advance to the third phase.
The Paraguayan team won by a goal to zero in Asunción and the red-black team will have to win by a two-goal advantage to reach the next phase, where they would meet Guaraní, also from Paraguay, who advanced to the next phase of the tournament.
For this match, coach Alexis Mendoza will not be able to count on Roberto Rodríguez, due to injury, or on Jonathan Álvez, who is suspended by Conmebol. Teófilo might play a few minutes, as he has recovered from a muscle injury.
