Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Once Caldas is 6.85, compared to 6.88 for Junior. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Once Caldas's highest-rated starter is J. Aguirre (7.10), while Junior's best-rated player is J. Enamorado (7.05).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Once Caldas have contributed 34 goals and 14 assists this season, led by D. Moreno (14G). Junior's starters account for 29 goals and 25 assists, spearheaded by B. Castrillón (10G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Once Caldas deploy 4 defenders rated 6.78 on average, against Junior's 4-man backline averaging 6.77. 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.

Midfield Control

Once Caldas field 5 midfielders averaging 6.81, versus Junior's 5 rated 6.93. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Once Caldas start 1 forward(s) averaging 7.04, compared to 1 for Junior averaging 6.87. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Discipline

Once Caldas's starters have collected 65 yellow cards this season, compared to 41 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.

Age & Experience

The average age of Once Caldas's starting XI is 29.7 (youngest: A. García (24), oldest: D. Moreno (40)), while Junior average 30.3 (youngest: J. Navia (22), oldest: E. Olivera (35)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Once Caldas's starters average 30 league appearances each, versus 26 for Junior. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
