Why Bet on Atletico Bucaramanga?
Atletico Bucaramanga was one of two teams leading the board at the end of the Apertura season. However, things didn’t go as expected once they were on the Quadrangular, as the teams in group A went through an equal two wins, two draws, and two losses on their run.
Bucaramanga were the team to score the least in these matches, but they were also the ones to take the least goals. That gave them a goal differential draw with Millonarios, which allowed them to make it through to the final as they won their particular series against the Bogotanos (0-0 and 0-1).
They must put it all out in this clash, especially as the hosts, to make sure they stop Santa Fe’s Momentum.
Why Bet on Santa Fe?
Santa Fe was placed 4th in the regular season of the Liga Betplay Dimayor Apertura, tied with Deportivo Pereira on 34 points, right behind the two leaders. After ten wins, four draws, and five losses, they based their form on being almost unbeatable at home, although their only loss in this condition came precisely against this rival, so they must be aware.
It was once that the team got into the Quadrangular that they went all out, tearing apart the opposition with relative ease, scoring eight goals and only taking one during their six clashes. The team landed five victories and one draw to make a clear ride to the top, which makes them favorites for the final.
Final Betting Analysis: Atletico Bucaramanga vs. Santa Fe
The last 26 matches have been marked by Independiente’s dominance with 12 victories, contrary to 8 for Bucaramanga. By contrast, the previous five games across all competitions tell a slightly different history with two wins for the Leopards.
Now, the momentum that Santa Fe carries will be a factor for these two matches. However, Atletico Bucaramanga will have their best shot to stop them on their tracks right now, as they host the clash in front of their home crowd.
With all said and done, we are expecting Santa Fe to be able to carry their momentum forward and get a small margin victory at Bucaramanga’s home, which should allow them to enter the second leg with no pressure on their shoulders. We’ll go for a 0-1.
