The Santa Fe & Deportes Tolima managers H. Rivera Roa and H. Torres Oliveros are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga BetPlay league table.
Deportes Tolima could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga BetPlay game only three sleeps ago.
Santa Fe form and stats
21 points is a decent return from 9 Liga BetPlay games here at Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín for Santa Fe. The data says 6 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. Ever since the Millonarios game Santa has been unbeatable here at Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín producing four straight wins.
The Santa supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Independiente Medellín in Liga BetPlay and win 3-0. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Deportivo Pasto the opponent.
This is expected to be a close game, with Santa Fe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
