Junior Barranquilla will host Colo Colo at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Melendez on Tuesday in the second leg of their 2024 Copa Libertadores last-16 clash. The home side have endured a slow start to their league campaign and will hope they can find better luck on the continental stage this week.
They performed fairly well in the group stages of the competition picking up two wins and four draws from their six games to finish atop their group and advance to the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores for the first time since 2011.
Colo Colo, meanwhile, are enjoying a good run of form and will be looking to extend their run on the continental stage this Tuesday. They already have a foot in the quarterfinals of the competition after picking up a 1-0 win in their first-leg clash last week, with Vicente Pizarro netting the sole goal of the game 15 minutes from normal time.
