América de Cali is set to face Independiente Medellín on November 13 in a crucial match that could determine their spot in the Liga Betplay II-2025 semi-finals. This encounter comes during the final round of the regular season, where the stakes are high, and both teams are looking to solidify their positions.
América de Cali, coached by David González, is eager to secure their spot in the ‘fin de año’ celebration by battling against the current league leaders. The team has been preparing diligently for this matchup and will see the return of midfielder Josen Escobar, who has recovered from a significant bout of tonsillitis that sidelined him for over a week. However, González is weighing the decision of whether to start Escobar or ease him back into play from the bench, considering the importance of the match and his recent illness.
On the other hand, there are concerns surrounding the availability of forward Luis Ramos, who has been dealing with recurrent muscle overload issues for several weeks. Despite undergoing special training to mitigate his discomfort, there is uncertainty about his ability to start the match, and González may choose to substitute him if necessary. If Ramos is unable to play, Yojan ‘Papula’ Garcés is expected to step in as his replacement.
With intense anticipation surrounding the matchup, América de Cali will bring their best game in hopes of achieving a positive result against Medellín, reinforcing their aspirations for the playoffs. The determination and the strategic decisions made by González will be critical in this high-stakes encounter that promises to be a thrilling contest for both teams.
