Betting on Club Independiente Santa Fe
The home team enters this Santa Fe vs Bucaramanga matchup with a fairly average performance in 2023. Despite having impressive games and a well-stocked roster, Harold Rivera’s team struggles to win and is currently in the middle of the standings.
In the last Copa Sudamericana match against Gimnasia of Argentina, the lion won 2-1. On a starry night at El Campín, the Bogotá squad came back from a very tough match that started with La Plata’s team in the lead. With goals from Kevin Mantilla and a last-minute goal from Hugo Rodallega, the red and white team secured the top spot in Group G.
For the upcoming game, it is expected that the cardinals will be more precise, as opportunities will surely come through José Enamorado and Fabián Sambueza. At the moment, Santa Fe occupies the eleventh position in the FPC with four victories in thirteen matches.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Juan Espitia; Fabián Viáfara, Kevin Mantilla, David Pisciotti, Fabio Delgado; Jhojan Torres, Iván Rojas, Jersson González, Fabián Sambueza, José Enamorado; Hugo Rodallega.
Betting on Club Atletico Bucaramanga
The visiting team arrives at this Santa Fe vs Bucaramanga match as one of the least effective teams in the league, having completed a total of eleven winless games. The Bucaros are still looking for a resurrection, considering it has only won two of its fourteen matches played.
In the last match against Independiente Medellin, the Leopard lost 2-1 at home. The game was exciting, and it was not until the 82nd minute when the top scorer Diber Cambindo did his thing and got the definitive goal. A strong blow for the Santander team was the expulsion of its forward Gonzalo Lencina, who will also be absent in this match.
For the following game, it is expected that the golden-and-green team breaks the statistics, as it has not won in Bogotá in ten matches. Currently, Bucaramanga occupies the 18th position in the Colombian League, just one point away from the last place, Once Caldas.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Cristopher Varela; Hadier Borja, Francisco Meza, Carlos Henao, Cristian Flórez; Diego Chávez, Víctor Mejía, David Gómez, Javier Reina, Teófilo Gutiérrez; Aldair Zárate.
JefeBet Prediction
The Cardinals are in great form as it dominated its international cup match with gallantry and has won three of its last four home games. With the Enamorado-Rodallega formula, it seems that Harold Rivera has finally found stability.
After the morale boost on Tuesday and with its squad in good physical shape, at JefeBet, we believe that the home team will take the points in this Santa Fe vs Bucaramanga match.
Prediction: Santa Fe Moneyline (SFE 2-0 BUC)
