National Athletic have been in exceptional form across the current Colombian Primera A Torneo Finalización, leading the league in both offensive and defensive metrics after 10 rounds, with 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, 21 goals scored and just 8 conceded. They have also strung together four consecutive league wins lately, boasting a particularly intimidating home record. Squad availability is the biggest uncertain factor here: multiple key attacking midfield and forward players including Cardona, Uribe, Nicolas Rodriguez and Elkin Rivero are sidelined, which will limit their attacking rotation depth. That said, James Rodriguez has completed his move to the club and made his first team debut in mid-September. If he takes the pitch in this match, the side’s final-third organization and set-piece threat will be significantly enhanced. The main concern for the side is that all their current injury absences fall in attacking positions. If they cannot break the deadlock early, they are hig

CD FAS deploys a consistent 4-2-3-1 system as their core setup. Their goalkeeper Caravantes acts as the solid last line of defence, with the double pivot of Norasco and Moran balancing tight defensive coverage and smooth progressive passing out from the back. Attacking midfielder Santamaria orchestrates attacking transitions, while Medrano and Bonilla operate in advanced wide areas to deliver sharp penetration, making the side highly effective at breaking down deep defences in positional attacks. Their key vulnerability lies in the fullback positions: when fullbacks push forward to join attacks, they leave large unprotected gaps behind, and their slow recovery runs often leave these spaces exposed to counter threats. Metapa also lines up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with goalkeeper Pletesmara shielded by the solid centre-back duo of Molina and Lemus. Midfield pair Guerra and Monterrosa control the team's build-up play, with Haboken leading the line as the lone striker. The side is renowned
