Key Players and Absences
For
Fortaleza, Leonardo Pico stands out in midfield, a player known for his tactical awareness and ball distribution. Juan Diego Castillo Reyes, another pivotal figure, offers defensive solidity, while Joyce Esteban Ossa Rios brings youthful energy and flair. Cesar Hinestroza plays a crucial role in attack, often seen orchestrating offensive plays. However,
Fortaleza will miss the services of Yesid Diaz and Jesus Arrieta, whose absence might impact their defensive and attacking balance.

Juan Pereira adds depth to their play, while Daniel Catano is a threat with his incisive runs and goal-scoring ability. Leonardo Castro offers a constant aerial threat, always lurking to capitalize on set-pieces. Notable absences include Jorge Arias and Jader Valencia, which could test their squad's depth.

Historical Encounters
In their head-to-head record,
Millonarios have shown dominance, winning eight out of nine encounters against
Fortaleza. Their most recent clash saw
Millonarios secure a 2-1 victory on an undisclosed date.
Fortaleza's lone victory feels like a distant memory, a reminder of the uphill task they face.
Recent Form
Fortaleza's recent form hasn’t been inspiring. They suffered a 1-0 loss to America de Cali, followed by a goalless draw with Alianza FC Valledupar. Consecutive 1-1 draws against La Equidad and Tolima added to their struggles, culminating in a 2-0 defeat to Independiente Santa Fe. A team looking to find their rhythm and, perhaps, their shooting boots.
Millonarios, by contrast, have enjoyed a more positive run. A 2-0 win over Alianza Valledupar set the tone, followed by another 2-0 triumph against Independiente Santa Fe. A narrow 3-2 loss to the same opponents briefly halted their momentum, but they bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Aguilas Doradas Rionegro. However, their recent 2-1 loss to CD Junior FC suggests vulnerability.
