The two teams that are at the bottom, Patriotas and Jaguares, will both face matches this Sunday at home: the Boyacense team will receive Alianza FC de Valledupar at the La Independencia stadium in Tunja, while the Montería team will play at Jaraguay against to the Independiente Medellín.
Above Deportivo Cali in the relegation table there are two teams that until a few days ago were very close to being caught up and surpassed by the eleventh team from Cali; but, due to the bad results, but also the positive ones that they have achieved in recent days, today they are a little more distant from the green and white cast.
