Junior’s Libertadores Cup campaign is at a crucial point, with only three group stage games left to play. After dropping points in their last home match against Liga de Quito, the shark team finds themselves in a tight spot in Group D.
With only five points in the standings, Junior will need to secure away victories in their upcoming matches against Universitario and Liga de Quito to stay in contention for a spot in the round of 16. The final game against Botafogo in Barranquilla will also be crucial, as the Brazilian team will be looking to avenge their earlier defeat.
A total of 9 points are still up for grabs for Junior, and if they can win all three remaining games, they would secure their spot in the next round. However, with two consecutive away matches ahead, the task will not be easy.
If Junior fails to secure wins in their away games, their chances of advancing will become even slimmer. A loss in both matches would leave them with limited options, as both Ecuadorian and Peruvian teams could overtake them in the standings.
The pressure is on for Junior as they head into the final stretch of the group stage, knowing that every point will be crucial in determining their fate in the Libertadores Cup. Fans will have to wait and see if the shark team can rise to the occasion and secure their spot in the knockout rounds.
