Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Junior is 6.89, compared to 6.74 for Chico.

Defensive Solidity

Junior deploy 4 defenders rated 6.81 on average, against Chico's 4-man backline averaging 6.50. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Forward Threat

Discipline

Junior's starters have collected 25 yellow cards this season, compared to 12 for Chico. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.
