Betting on Rionegro Águilas
In its most recent match against Independiente Medellín in matchday 7 of the Colombian Primera A, Rionegro Águilas lost 3-0, which was an unexpected result considering the team had gone undefeated for six matches.
The team led by Lucas González finished 8th in the Colombian tournament’s reclassification standings in 2022, which allowed them to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. With the illusion of entering the group stage in the second most important tournament in the continent, the Dorados hope to win this Rionegro Aguilas vs Santa Fe match with the participation of their attacking stars, Marco Perez and Johan Caballero.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): José David Contreras; Mateo Puerta, Jean Pestaña, Jeison Quiñones, Yhorman Hurtado; Jean Pineda, Kevin Castaño, Jesús Rivas; Johan Caballero, Marco Pérez, Álex Castro.
Betting on Santa Fe
In this Rionegro Aguilas vs Santa Fe, the team from Bogota will be making its seventh Copa Sudamericana appearance. The team comes to the match with many doubts, having attained only one victory in six matches played in the tournament. They have a sluggish offense and one of the worst goal averages of the season. Despite having talented players, the team lacks cohesion and effective strategy under the coaching of Harold Rivera.
The Leones secured their place in the international competition by finishing sixth in the overall standings in the 2022 Liga BetPlay. For this Rionegro Aguilas vs Santa Fe clash, the visiting team is expected to impose its predominance after being champions of this tournament in 2015.
In order to win, Rivera’s midfielders and forwards will have to fulfill their goal-scoring odds, as one of the major investments made by the board for 2023 has been in offense. Fabián Sambueza and Wilson Morelo are expected to score goals.
Possible lineup (5-2-3): José Silva; Fabián Viáfara, Kevin Mantilla, Marlon Torres, Julian Millan, Fabio Delgado; Iván Rojas, Jhojan Torres; José Enamorado, Wilson Morelo, Fabián Sambueza.
JefeBet Prediction
Considering its current performance, we believe that the home team will win this Rionegro Aguilas vs Santa Fe match.
The team from Rionegro has shown talent and skill in the local tournament, and it is going through a very good moment, except for the last game it played. Santa Fe, on the other hand, shows a divided dressing room and weaknesses in most of its positions; despite the team’s supremacy, it would be a miracle if it were to qualify in this match at the Atanasio Stadium.
Prediction: Aguilas Doradas win 1-0.
