Independiente vs Unión Santa Fe: match statistics

150%(2.15)
X28%(3.15)
222%(3.50)

Independiente presents solid home form with a 50% win rate and an impressive 6:2 goal difference at their own stadium, remaining undefeated at home this season. The hosts dominate in ball possession (54% vs 41%) and generate higher xG values in home matches (1.77 vs 1.49 xG for the visitors on the road). Despite good overall form (3 wins in their last 5 matches), Unión Santa Fe struggles away from home, where they lose half of their games and fail to keep a clean sheet. The visitors' weaker away streak (LLWW) and the fact that Independiente scores an average of 1.5 goals per home game while conceding just 0.5, speak in favor of the hosts. Considering all the statistics, I expect a win for Independiente, although Unión Santa Fe might put up a tough fight, making a draw a realistic scenario as well.
