Verdolaga will push to close the series and seize the Super League title against the formidable Matecaña, a showdown that fans have awaited with bated breath. In a parallel chase, National Athletics seeks a decisive win to secure a critical place in the 2023 Super League final, following an important away victory last week against Deportivo Pereira. Pereira now faces a comeback mission at the Atanasio Girardot in Medellín, where every goal could tilt the balance of the tie.

In Pereira, Verdolaga squad depth will be tested as injuries strike key players. Francisco Da Costa and Yerson Candelo joined Sebastián Gómez, Álvaro Angulo, and Yair Mena in the medical department, tightening the rotation for coach Autuori. The rest of the squad remains available as the coach debates whether to deploy the 4-3-3 formation that recently earned a win over Hernán Ramírez Villegas or revert to the 3-5-2 that produced success in previous fixtures.
Thomas Gutiérrez dropped out for Pereira, while Geisson Perea and Yímer Fory were called in. Alejandro Restrepo appears to be shaping his starting eleven for the first leg, aiming to produce a decisive strike in Medellín.
