Player to watch: Eder Chaux
Eder Chaux was nothing short of impressive when these teams met last week, as his eight saves ensured Independiente Medellin would go into the second leg of this tie on level terms. The former America de Cali shot-stopper will likely need to put in another solid performance if Independiente Medellin are to stand a chance of advancing to the semifinal.
