Millonarios, Atlético Nacional, Once Caldas, Deportes Tolima and Junior will fight this Sunday to reach the final of the Colombian league on the last day of the semi-final home runs of the Finalización Tournament.
In Group A, the only one that depends on itself is Millonarios, leader of the area with 11 units, while Atlético Nacional, with 10, is conditioned to what happens in the other game in its group.
The ambassador team, led by Alberto Gamero, will visit Deportivo Pasto to play for their ticket to the final, something they could not achieve the previous day with the 1-1 draw against Independiente Santa Fe. A victory will automatically put them 180 minutes away from the qualification.
To earn the right to play in a new final after a year and a half, Millonarios clings to goalkeeper Álvaro Montero, Costa Rican defender Juan Pablo Vargas, midfielder David Mackalister Silva and forward Leonardo Castro, in addition to the great reference of Colombian football: Falcao , who comes with a muscular overload for which he requested the change during the game with Santa Fe.
In the final match in the city of Pasto, the blue team will not be able to count on defender Sergio Mosquera due to injury, while the Volcánica squad, which stagnated on six points and has no chance of being in the final, will miss, due to suspension, Daniel Moreno, the best scorer in the league with 17 goals.
Atlético Nacional, led by Mexican Efraín Juárez, comes with wind in its shirt after defeating Pasto 2-1 and thus keeping its dream alive, even though it needs Millonarios to slip or draw to qualify for the final, if it manages to beat Santa Fe in Bogota.
Goalkeeper David Ospina, defender William Tesillo, Uruguayan midfielder Pablo Ceppelini and forward Alfredo Morelos are expected to start in Bogotá.

The white team from Manizales is facing a great opportunity because after 14 years it has the option of being a finalist again very close.
He has license to dream by having forward Dayro Moreno, the all-time top scorer in the Colombian league, who scored a double on Wednesday.
Tolima comes from two defeats in a row that mortgaged its options after having been in command of the group and reaching the final.
But losing 3-2 to Venezuelan César Farías’ Junior in the last minute, with the goal of Argentine defender Emmanuel Olivera, left him stagnant at seven points and depending on another result.
