Independiente del Valle, the current Copa CONMEBOL Sudamericana champions, are still fighting to secure a spot in the knockout stage of this competition, although their journey appears to be easier than Junior, who will face Flamengo in the other match of this hard-fought Group A. 

Barcelona could still rob Junior from that third spot in this group if they beat Independiente and Flamengo do the same against the Colombian side. The fact that both teams are from the same country makes this duel even more interesting than it already is.
