Independiente Santa Fe vs Junior: Storylines

Independiente Santa Fe will close a disappointing participation in the Copa Libertadores 2021 with no chances of at least fighting for a Sudamericana spot. Harold Rivera’s side was shocked by a weakened River Plate last Wednesday and were left with nothing to play for in the upcoming duel, except for tryingto ruin their rivals’ aspirations in this tournament.

Junior de Barranquilla remain alive in the group thanks to a huge triumph over Fluminense in Brazil against all odds. Los Tiburones might progress to the next round if they beat Santa Fe and Flu don’t defeat River.

They’ve had ups and downs in their continental path so far, but they still have one remaining shot to push for a place in the last 16. Due to the social unrest in Colombia, this game will be played in Ecuador.
