Defensive Solidity

America de Cali deploy 4 defenders rated 6.88 on average, against Junior's 4-man backline averaging 6.31. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets.

Discipline

America de Cali's starters have collected 11 yellow cards this season, compared to 18 for Junior. 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.
