Betting on Millonarios FC
Millonarios arrives at this Millonarios vs Santa Fe match at a critical moment. Although the team continues to trail the leader Águilas Doradas, and has one foot in the playoffs, it has had two consecutive draws in recent matches.
Alberto Gamero’s team has had a declining record since its clash against Junior. After that, Millonarios drew in the Copa Sudamericana against América MG and drew at home against Envigado, leaving a bad taste among the fans due to the team’s poor creative ability.
The Bogotá team has not lost any of the three recent derbies, so it hopes to come out on top against one of its most important rivals, to whom it has a short but existing historical advantage in this stadium.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Álvaro Montero; Elvis Perlaza, Andrés Llinás, Juan Pablo Vargas, Jorge Arias; Larry Vásquez, Daniel Giraldo, Daniel Cataño, David Mackalister; Fernando Uribe, Leonardo Castro.
Betting on Club Independiente Santa Fe
Santa Fe arrives at this Millonarios vs Santa Fe match with a stable performance. Despite some imprecise games, Harold Rivera’s team seems to have found the Enamorado-Rodallega formula.
In the last league match against Deportes Tolima, Santa Fe won 2-0. On a starry night at El Campin, the Bogotá team showed it has what it takes to fight for a place in the playoffs. Additionally, the defensive security provided by its captain, Kevin Mantilla, has made the difference.
In fact, for the Millonarios vs Santa Fe match, it is expected that Santa Fe will be cautious in its defensive lines, as two of its star players will be leaving for the U-20 World Cup: Torres and Mantilla. At the moment, the team holds the eighth position in the Colombian Primera A standings with six victories in 16 matches.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Juan Espitia; Fabián Viáfara, José Ajá, David Pisciotti, Fabio Delgado; Jhonatan Barbosa, Iván Rojas; Fabián Sambueza, Christian Marrugo, José Enamorado; Hugo Rodallega.
JefeBet Prediction
Millonarios is one of the favorites to win the title in this first tournament of 2023. However, it has left a bad impression in its recent matches. So, for the honor and confidence, Gamero’s men will try to take all three points against their local rival.
On the other hand, Santa Fe has been moving slowly, and its passage to the quadrangular stage is at risk. Moreover, its players will arrive tired after a tough game in Lima against Universitario. It’s worth mentioning that Santa Fe hasn’t won against Millonarios as visitors since October 2022. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that this Millonarios vs Santa Fe match will end in a draw.
Prediction: Tie (MIL 2-2 SFE).
