Junior de Barranquilla‘s upset victory over Patriotas FC was not only the first match in the League under César Farías, but it helped the Barranquilla team continue in the fight to qualify for the Semi-Finals of the Betplay League 2024 – II.
DIARIO DEPORTES took the calculator, the abacus, the sudoku or the little-noticed “Galician Tables” to pass that magic number Junior needs to the Home Run.
For these accounts, we will take into account two aspects. First we will add the 3 points awarded by the DIMAYOR Disciplinary Commission after the unfortunate events in the match vs. Atlético Nacional, so Junior has 19 points.
The second thing is that there is still a pending game vs. Deportivo Pereira, not yet scheduled.
Fortaleza CEIF is the hare to be hunted at this moment. The Bogotá team has 21 points in 13 games played, for a performance of 54%. With this information, 31 points is the magic number that will bring Junior de Barranquilla forward and a good difference in terms of the goal.
Junior will have to add at least 12 points in his next 7 pending games.
