For date 2, the Barranquilleros will not be able to count on defenders Rafael Pérez and the Argentine Emanuel Olivera, who have not overcome their physical problems; in the central defense they will be Jermein Pena and the youth Brayan Ceballoswho have responded satisfactorily to the trust of the Colombian strategist.
The strings in the middle will be pulled by the two star signings, Víctor Danilo Cantillo and Yimmi Chará, who have given him better control in the midfield zone and greater offensive weight.
Carlos Bacca, who is rested and sweet after the double in Brazil, will command the attack and will be fed by the wingers Deiber Caicedo and José Enamorado.
