Archived pre-match analysis

This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

Santa Fe has a clear offensive edge: at home they average 1.89 goals per match, xG 1.55 and 5.78 shots on target per match, while América de Cali away averages 1.00 goal, xG 1.15 and 3.6 shots on target. Additionally, Santa Fe rarely fails to score (11% of home matches without a goal), whereas América de Cali fail to score in 30% of their away matches, which increases the hosts' chance to capitalize on their chance-creation advantage. Defensively the differences are smaller — Santa Fe concedes 1.11 goals per home match versus 1.20 conceded by América de Cali away, but América de Cali keep more clean sheets on the road (30% vs 11%), which can complicate the outcome in individual games. In the last five matches Santa Fe averages 1.6 points per game and América de Cali 1.4, and the goal difference at the hosts’ stadium (+7 for Santa Fe vs -2 in América de Cali’s away matches) strongly favors the home side. Considering better finishing (13% shot conversion for Santa Fe vs 9% for América de Cali), a higher volume of created chances (14.11 vs 10.7 shots per match) and higher xG for the hosts, I give Santa Fe the greater probability of victory.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Santa Fe averages 1.6 goals scored and concedes only 0.4 per match this season, keeping a clean sheet in 60% of games and failing to score in only 10% of matches, which strongly supports the likelihood of a clean sheet for the opponent. América de Cali has seasonal averages of 1.0 goals scored and 1.2 conceded, fails to score in 30% of matches, and posts xG_for of 1.15 versus Santa Fe’s xG_against of 1.02 — the visitors’ attack is moderate and does not overcome the hosts’ defense. Both teams have season BTTS rates of 40%, while the league BTTS is 54%, so the league environment favors BTTS, but the team profiles are more defensive. In the last 5 matches Santa Fe has BTTS 100% and concedes an average of 1.2 goals, while América has BTTS 20% and scores 0.8 on average in the last 5; this is a short-term risk for a Goal/Goal outcome, but not strong enough to outweigh Santa Fe’s seasonal stability. Overall (60% clean sheets for the home side, only 10% of matches without a goal for Santa Fe vs 30% for the visitors, and xG 1.84 for the hosts versus 1.15 for the guests) the scenario that both teams will not score appears more likely.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The xG-based model projects 1.67 expected goals for Santa Fe and 1.08 for América de Cali, totaling 2.75 xG. This exceeds the league average of 2.51 and supports an Over market. The seasonal rate of matches over 1.5 goals is 70% for both teams. Santa Fe averages 16.9 shots and 5.2 on target per match, while América de Cali averages 10.7 shots and 3.6 on target, which boosts the home side’s offensive potential despite Santa Fe recording 60% clean sheets and conceding only 0.4 goals on average. Seasonal Over 2.5 shares are 30% for the home team and 50% for the away team; Santa Fe’s last 5 matches show 60% Over 2.5. Given the combined xG of 2.75, I assess the probability of Over 2.5 at approximately 52%. The strongest signal from the data is Over 1.5 (≈76% probability) — therefore I recommend taking Over 1.5 as the most confident line.

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

Santa Fe is the clear favorite: at home they average 2.2 points per match versus América de Cali’s 1.2 on the road, possess a higher xG (1.84 vs 1.15), more shots (16.9 vs 10.7) and more shots on target (5.2 vs 3.6). Half-time metrics also favor the hosts — Santa Fe led at the break in 50% of matches, scores on average 0.8 goals and concedes only 0.3 goals by half-time, and 70% of their matches were goalless against them before the break, which often results in a 1-0 scoreline after 45 minutes. The advantage grows in the second half: Santa Fe collected 22 points in second halves (2.2 on average) while América has 9 points (0.9 on average); Santa Fe scores 0.8 goals after the break and concedes 0.1, whereas América concedes 0.7 goals on average in the second half. For these reasons the most probable scenario is Santa Fe leading at half-time and winning at full-time (1/1) — I estimate its probability at 38%. Alternatives are a draw at half-time and a home win (X/1) at 20% or draw/draw (X/X) at 12%. Scenarios where América lead at half-time and go on to win are considered unlikely given their lower xG and weaker second-half effectiveness.
