With the home advantage

Atletico Nacional registered a huge win over Independiente (5-2) at the Colombian Clasico in the previous round, remaining the only undefeated team after eight rounds. They are on a high flying mood after the big clash in Medellin. Now they sit in the second place of the table, having 16 points, just one point below America de Cali. Furthermore, they eliminated Santa Fe with a 3-0 win at home and a 2-0 win on the road for the last 16 of the Colombian Cup. They are trying to defend their trophy and secure a place at the upcoming Copa Libertadores once again.

Deportes Tolima made a quite satisfying start this season in Clausura. They have registered three wins and two draws after 8 games. Their most recent win was over Jaguares (2-0). In the previous round of the Cup, they eliminated Orsomarso (a team from the 2nd division) with the emphatic 8-0 on aggregate. Tonight they will do their best to score against Atletico Nacional, even if the away goals rule does not apply in this competition.

Last season winners of the trophy Atletico Nacional have the upper hand at their home against Deportes Tolima who are a strong competitor but things are tough for them this time. Home win.
