Betting on Santa Fe
The fanbase of the Leones had higher expectations for their performance leading up to this Santa Fe vs Union Magdalena match. The Cardenal team is sitting in 13th place in the standings with one win, two draws and one loss.
In its last league match against La Equidad, Santa Fe defeated the Aseguradores 1-0. The match was extremely even and Wilson Morelo’s goal in the 7th minute changed the approach of both coaches. Despite the constant approaches from the home team, the Cardenal defense proved to be a real impenetrable.
For this new matchday between Santa Fe vs Union Magdalena, Harold Rivera’s team is expected to give its fans its first joy at El Campín,. The tea will be improving the front line, which has faltered since the beginning of the season. There are high expectations of Hugo Rodallega reaching his best level, and the presence of Fabián Sambueza is still not confirmed due to injury.
Possible lineup (5-4-1): José Silva; Fabián Viáfara, Kevin Mantilla, Marlon Torres, Julián Millán, Dairon Mosquera; Christian Marrugo, Harold Rivera, Iván Rojas, Fabián Sambueza; Wilson Morelo.
Betting on Unión Magdalena
In the last matchday of Colombian soccer against Junior de Barranquilla, the Santa Marta team played to a goalless draw away from home, and it actually saved the game thanks to the work of its defense, which sacrificed itself, even leaving two important players out due to expulsion; Fabián Cantillo and Ronaldo Lora.
The Banana Cyclone occupies the 14th place in the Colombian standings with five points, as a result of one win and two draws. For this new Santa Fe vs Union Magdalena match, the Samarios will have to fine-tune their offense, although the approach will probably be different without two of their key players.
Even so, the presence of experienced players such as Álex Mejía and Carlos Bejarano can make a difference on the field.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Carlos Bejarano; Juan Angulo, Juan Vaca, Nicolás Gil, Brayan Correa; Gianfranco Baier, Álex Mejía, Jairo Palomino, Jean Colorado; Isaac Camargo, Joel Contreras.
JefeBet Prediction
In this new Santa Fe vs Union Magdalena clash, we believe that the locals will take the 3 points.
The Cardenal team has not had an outstanding season, and the last time it played on its home field, it lost in an embarrassing way. However, what the team showed in the match against La Equidad, added to the rhythm of important players such as Christian Marrugo and Kevin Mantilla, which could be replicated in this new matchday.
Prediction: Santa Fe win 1-0.
