Betting on Club Independiente Santa Fe
The home team enters this upcoming match with an inconsistent performance, even being one of the least reliable teams in the Colombian Professional Soccer League. Since the arrival of its coach, The Lions have yet to define its playing style, and even its lineup remains uncertain towards the end of the tournament.
In its last league duel against Millonarios, Santa Fe fell 1-0. Despite playing a back-and-forth game, a foul in the small penalty area gave Leonardo Castro the opportunity to score from the penalty spot. The repeated attempts from Hugo Rodallega and a total of 19 shots for the maroon and white team were not enough to beat Álvaro Montero’s goal.
For the Santa Fe vs Atletico Nacional match, it is expected that The Cardinals will be consistent and find its way out through Fabián Sambueza and José Enamorado. Currently, the team is ninth in the standings and has won four consecutive home games.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Juan Espitia; Fabián Viáfara, Marlon Torres, José Manuel Ajá, Fabio Delgado; Juan Daniel Roa, Harold Rivera, Fabián Sambueza, Christian Marrugo; José Enamorado, Hugo Rodallega.
Betting on Atlético Nacional S.A.
Atletico Nacional is undoubtedly one of the toughest historical rivals to beat for any team, and carries a special weight for this following match. In addition, Paulo Autuori’s team has gained good momentum, completing five unbeaten matchdays with four victories and one draw.
In its clash against Boyaca Chico, The Purslanes prevailed 3-1 in a match it dominated in possession, and where Kevin Mier had a leading role. With this result, the King of Cups ranks third in the Colombian tournament and has not lost any of its last 8 away games.
For the Santa Fe vs Atletico Nacional duel, it is expected that the visiting team will rely on its memory, knowing well that it has hegemony over The Red Express, winning three of its last five recent encounters.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Kevin Mier; Andrés Román, Cristian Castro, Cristián Zapata, Danovis Banguero; Nelson Palacio, Jhon Solis, Nelson Deossa; Yerson Candelo, Jéfferson Duque, Dorlan Pabón.
JefeBet Prediction
The Cardinals fell to an unstoppable Millonarios on its away game, who is currently leading the tournament. However, it was not inferior and still has one of the most complete squads of the season. The stats favor the Lion, as it hasn’t lost at home against this rival since August 2021. Moreover, Hugo Rodallega and José Enamorado have left its mark on this team with its outstanding quality.
Similarly, Nacional is on the rise and has an impeccable away record. Moreover, this team doesn’t carry the same need as The Red and Whites. Based on the need for points and what has been shown so far, at JefeBet, we believe that the points will be shared in this Santa Fe vs Atletico Nacional match.
