Cucuta host Junior FC in a Primera A fixture that carries very different stakes for each side.
The hosts sit 16th in the Apertura standings, deep in relegation trouble, and arrive into this match on the back of a heavy 5-0 defeat to Santa Fe. A home win is close to essential if they are to keep their survival hopes alive.
Junior, meanwhile, occupy third place in the Apertura table and are firmly in the conversation for a title push. They also carry the weight of Copa Libertadores commitments, which adds rotation pressure to Arturo Reyes' squad.
Cucuta's recent record has been inconsistent. Back-to-back wins over America de Cali and Chico FC gave the club some momentum in late March, but that 5-0 collapse against Santa Fe last weekend will have dented confidence at the club.
Junior arrive in better shape domestically. A 3-0 win at Aguilas Doradas and a 2-0 victory over Llaneros FC bookend a Copa Libertadores run that included a creditable 1-1 draw with Palmeiras.
This is a fixture between a side fighting to stay in the division and one with ambitions of winning it. The gap in the table makes Junior clear favourites, but Cucuta will be desperate for points on home soil.
