Deportivo Cali is tied in points with Corinthians in Group E of the Copa Libertadores, but the team has a goal differential that’s three goals better than the Brazilian side.
The Colombian side’s best showings in this event came last century, when it finished as the runners-up in 1978 and 1999.
As for its current run in domestic play, the Colombian Apertura isn’t going Deportivo Cali’s way. The team is in 19th out of 20 teams right now, with just four wins in 20 matches. It’s a far cry from the success that the team is having in this tournament.
Predicted Deportivo Cali starting XI: Gutierrez, Nazarit, Caldera Alvis, Velasco Bonilla, Camargo Rodríguez, Congo Caicedo, Vasquez, Teo, Mosquera, González; de Amores
