Betting on Club Independiente Santa Fe
The home team comes into this Santa Fe vs Deportes Tolima match with an inconsistent performance so far in 2023. Despite having some dazzling games and a well-stocked roster, the lion‘s followers are still calling for the departure of their head coach, Harold Rivera.
In their last league match against Aguilas Doradas, Santa Fe lost 3-1. It was a magical night for Marco Pérez, who scored three goals, and for the entire eastern team, who are the first team to qualify for the quadrangular phase in this Liga BetPlay 2023 and still maintain their lead.
For the Santa Fe vs Deportes Tolima match, it is expected that the cardinals will be consistent and find their way through Wilfrido de la Rosa and José Enamorado. Currently, the team is in tenth place on the table and has won three consecutive home games.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Juan Espitia; Fabián Viáfara, Kevin Mantilla, José Manuel Ajá, Fabio Delgado; Jonathan Barboza, Iván Rojas, Wilfrido de la Rosa, Christian Marrugo, José Enamorado; Hugo Rodallega.
Betting on Deportes Tolima
The Pijaos, who will be the visitors in this Santa Fe vs Deportes Tolima match, are in a bad streak and want to achieve the heroic in Bogotá. The Ibagué team occupies the 11th position with only four victories out of 16 possible. After Hernán Torres’ departure as head coach after several seasons, the future is uncertain for the vinotinto y oro.
In their last league match against Jaguares, Tolima drew 1-1. Opportunities came from both sides, but Tolima had more possession of the ball. With this tie, the Ibagué team completes four consecutive matches without adding three points.
For this new matchday, it is expected that the Ibagué squad will fight for the victory in attack with Facundo Boné and Juan Fernando Caicedo. One problem for the Pijaos is the defense, as they have received at least one goal in the last five matches.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Christian Vargas; Juan Arboleda, Juan Mera, José Cuen, Shean Barbosa; Juan Ríos, Juan Pablo Nieto, Estéfano Arango, Yeison Guzmán, Facundo Boné; Juan Fernando Caicedo.
JefeBet Prediction
The Cardinals suffered a defeat against an unstoppable Golden Eagles on their away game, but they still have one of the most balanced rosters of the season. The statistics favor the lion as they have not lost at home against this opponent in the last three matches. Additionally, Hugo Rodallega and José Enamorado have left their mark on this team with a thirst for victory.
On the other hand, Tolima has been on a downward trend and historically has struggled to win in the Colombian capital. Due to the need for points and their performance so far, at JefeBet we believe that the home team will come away with the win in this Santa Fe vs Deportes Tolima game.
Prediction: Santa Fe Moneyline (SFE 2-1 TOL)
