America wants to stay in the eight
César Farías’ team wants to distance itself from Millonarios, Nacional and Fortaleza, which follow them in the standings, looking for the last spot in the classification zone. To be calmer and reach 22 units they will have to beat Junior, a team that is sixth with 24 units and is one of the candidates for the title.
The Scarlet team’s campaign has been acceptable since it has 19 units, the result of five wins, four draws and five losses. So far they have scored 17 goals and conceded 13.
“We have a well-functioning team. The data reflects it. But good operation, good equipment, sometimes it is not everything. Beating a group of friends… that’s really difficult,” said Farías, who seems happy with the progress of his team.
For his part, Junior arrives with good feelings after the 3-1 victory against Botafogo as a visitor in midweek in the Copa Libertadores. The coach could have the luxury of rotating the roster since next week Universitario visits them at the Metropolitano field.
