Santa Fe vs Junior Prediction & Betting tips
Between all the international violence, the ball continues to roll in Colombian Clausura. In the Campin and Bogota, the top clubs Santa Fe and Atletico Junior are facing each other this weekend.
Santa Fe:
Santa Fe has two irons in the fire this calendar year. Not only did the club from Bogota put itself at the expense of fellow townsman Millonarios for the quarter finals of the Copa Sudamericana, but also the capitals have to put all their sails to qualify for the national playoffs. Last weekend, the team of coach Guillermo Sanguinetti won convincingly with 0-3 at Rionegro, so it manages to keep up with six matches in the Colombian top eight. The Uruguayan coach was therefore delighted: “We make three and keep the zero. I am very satisfied with our return. ‘
The three goals of last weekend were remarkable, as Santa Fe this season with only seventeen goals in thirteen rounds is not exactly a goal machine. In the back, however, the red shirts give nothing away, because with only nine goals, they have the least passed rear of the Clausura. With thirty-somethings like Victor Giraldo, Juan Valencia, Diego Guastavino and Luis Seijas, Santa Fe should mainly have her routine. Midfielder Juan Roa is on the road with the Colombian national team, but otherwise the red shirts do not have to miss any noteworthy players.
Atletico Junior:
Atletico Junior won for Deportes Tolima’s own public last Wednesday and rose to fourth place. This victory was not surprising in itself, but the way was absolutely. In the first half everything went wrong and with a 0-3 halfway score the game seemed halfway through. Atletico Junior, however, came out of the changing rooms as a reborn and managed to pull the longest with 4-3, led by former international Teofilo Gutierrez. An unprecedented comeback that the fans will remember for a long time. “This gives confidence,” said the 33-year-old attacker.
Atletico Junior is doing well, though the results are disappointing with only a win in seven away games. In addition, there is a chance that trainer Julio Comesana will rotate, as the team from Barranquilla with no less than seven matches in a period of 23 days has a very tough program. Furthermore, the team from the Caribbean port city of Barranquilla does not like to play at high altitudes. The last victory of Atletico Junior on Santa Fe in Bogota was already ten years ago. The thirteen encounters then yielded no less than twelve defeats and a mischievous draw.
