If they secure the three points, the Verdolagas will be advanced to the semifinals.
National Athletics holds a strong chance to qualify early for the BetPlay League semifinal in the first half of the season as they host Boyacá Chicó this Sunday at Atanasio Girardot. The match could welcome fans in the stands, with the exception of the south end, following Dimayor’s sanctions against Unión de Santa Fe? America. The outcome could have a meaningful impact on the standings as the league moves toward the knockout stage.

Paulo Autuori has his principal squad set to face Olimpia, fresh off a rotation he implemented in the victory over the Scarlets. However, the coach will be without Marquínez, Ocampo, Salazar, and Ángel, who have joined the Colombia under-20 team for training in Cali ahead of the World Cup in Argentina. The one player returning to action is Andrés Felipe Román after serving two disciplinary dates.
In the midfield and attack, Mario García is anticipated to stay in the lineup as the 11th man, following a goalless draw against Bucaramanga. He has been a surprise figure this season, and on several dates he has even helped steering the team toward the top of the table.
