View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Atlético Bucaramanga has an extremely pro-BTTS profile this season: 100% BTTS, 0% clean sheets, and 0% no-goal matches, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 1.33 conceded. Santa Fe also favors both teams scoring (67% BTTS), and additionally concedes 1.17 goals per match with a high xGA of 1.44, which, combined with the hosts' xG of 1.61 and 6.17 shots on target per match, strengthens the scenario of a Bucaramanga goal. On the visitors' side, despite a lower GF (0.83), their last 5 matches show 100% BTTS and 1.4 goals scored per match, increasing the chances of Santa Fe also finding the net. The hosts' defense shows no signs of stabilization (0% CS this season), and their xGA of ~1.0 still indicates a realistic chance of conceding. The only factor reducing confidence is Bucaramanga's drop in BTTS to 40% in their last 5 matches, so it is not a 'banker' bet, but still the closest to the most probable outcome.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The model based on goal averages and xG indicates approximately 2.57 goals in the match (1.45 for Bucaramanga and 1.12 for Santa Fe), which aligns with the league average of 2.54. The seasonal profile supports moderate scoring: Over 3.5 occurs in only 17% of matches for both teams, while Under 3.5 features in a high 83%. At the same time, Over 1.5 is highly probable (Bucaramanga 100%, Santa Fe 67%), limiting the appeal of low under lines. The signal on the 2.5 line is mixed (Bucaramanga 67% Over 2.5 vs Santa Fe 17% Over 2.5), and the last 5 matches show a spread of 40–60%. High BTTS rates (Bucaramanga 100%, Santa Fe 67%) and solid xG on both sides increase the risk but do not suggest a regular occurrence of 4+ goals. The strongest and most stable data pick is Under 3.5.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The most likely scenario is a draw at half-time and a win for Atlético Bucaramanga at full-time, as seasonally the hosts are more efficient (1.5 PPG vs 1.0) and generate better offensive numbers: 1.61 xG with 6.17 shots on target per match, while Santa Fe concedes an average of 1.17 goals. The first half favors a draw, as Santa Fe very often draws at the break (67%) and has a low first-half goal average (0.33), reducing the chances of an early breakthrough. After halftime, the match profile becomes more 'open' (both teams have a 100% over 0.5 record in the second half), and Bucaramanga has a better second-half PPG (1.67 vs 0.83), supporting a swing in their favor in the latter stages. Additionally, Santa Fe wins rarely this season (17%) and has poorer shot conversion (7% vs 10%), limiting their potential to fully maintain a favorable result. The draw/draw (X/X) outcome remains realistic due to both teams' high draw percentages (50% each), but the hosts' qualitative and volume advantage increases the probability of a draw/home win (X/1).
