Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Santa Fe & América de Cali face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Betplay. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Santa Fe nor América de Cali as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Santa Fe form and stats
Last season their Copa Betplay adventure ended in the 8th finals.Santa Fe are steadily winning Primera A games and points here at Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín. 7 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 10 games. In general it's been a long time since Santa tasted defeat here at Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín, as they have taken at least one point from their last 20 home games in the league.
A good away victory last time out for Santa, who won 2-1 against Atletico Bucaramanga. Previous to that game, a Primera A home match hosting Deportes Tolima in a game that was won 1-0.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of H. Rivera Roa when J. Ramos scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 70th minute.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Santa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost three.
