Independiente del Valle host Tolima in the Copa Libertadores, with Del Valle looking to extend their lead at the top of Group H and the Colombian side fighting to protect their position in Group B.
Joaquin Papa's side arrive in the form of their lives. Five wins from five across domestic and continental competition is the kind of run that breeds genuine confidence, and Del Valle have earned the right to be considered favourites heading into this fixture.
Tolima have not made the trip in great shape. Sebastian Oliveros's side drew 0-0 with Bucaramanga in their most recent Primera A outing, and they have already lost to Del Valle once in this competition, going down 1-0 on the road just days ago.
The head-to-head record adds a layer of intrigue. These two clubs have history in the Copa Libertadores, and Tolima will point to past meetings as proof that they can compete when it matters most.
Del Valle sit top of Group H and will be looking to make their home advantage count. For a side that has been scoring freely and defending with discipline, the conditions are in place for another positive result.

Form
Independiente del Valle have been in outstanding form, winning all five of their most recent fixtures across the Serie A and Copa Libertadores. Their latest result was a 2-3 win away at Leones del Norte on August 22, and they also beat Delfin 3-2 and LDU de Quito 2-0 earlier in the sequence. Del Valle have scored consistently across all five matches and kept a clean sheet against Deportivo Cuenca, underlining their defensive organisation alongside their attacking output.
Tolima's recent run is far more mixed. They drew 0-0 with Bucaramanga on August 22 and have recorded two wins and two losses in their last five Primera A and Copa Libertadores outings. Their 1-0 defeat to Del Valle on August 19 is the most recent result in this competition, and a 2-3 loss to Independiente Medellin earlier in the run highlights the defensive vulnerabilities that have troubled Oliveros's side.
