Envigado FC vs Independiente Santa Fe Prediction: Both Sides Have Struggled in Winning Comprehensively

In the upcoming fixture of the Colombia Categoria A, Matchday 7, Envigado will take on Santa Fe at the Itagüí Metropolitan Stadium in Itagüí. Going in the matchup, Envigado stands 10th with just a win and 7 points from 6 matches played. On the other hand, Santa Fe has dropped down to the 13th spot with a win and 6 points from 5 matches played so far in the contest. Envigado and Santa Fe have played against each other on several occasions, and the last time these two sides took on each other, Santa Fe won (1-0).

Going in the matchup, Envigado is coming off a defeat against America de Cali (1-0) and a win previously against Atletico FC (6-2). Envigado has produced reasonable performances this season, however, they have lacked when it comes to scoring goals frequently and winning matches comprehensively. Hence, Envigado will have to increase its scoring average, be at home or away. With a goal scoring average of 1.50 goals in the last 10 matches played, Envigado will look to score maximum goals and improve its standing in the points table. However, the home side will also need to work on the conceding average which is about 1.85 goals when playing at home. If Envigado manages to score 2 goals at least, it will be a decent matchup.

Joan Parra; Gendry Cuervo, Santiago Noreña, Jhon Banguera, Yeferson Rodallega; Edison López, Felipe Jaramillo, Juan Manuel Zapata, Luis Diaz, Henry Mosquera; Freddy Espinal.

Going in the matchup, Santa Fe will look to put behind what is done and move forward with a positive and aggressive approach. In the last draw outing, which could be a possible win for Santa Fe, Wilson Morelo failed in scoring back-to-back penalty chances. Hence, Harold Rivera and his boys will be feeling pressure as they get themselves aligned for the upcoming contest. The opening lineup is likely to feature Jose Enamorda in the place of Jeferson Rivera. Talking about the goal scoring average, Santa Fe averages 1.30 goals in the last 10 matches played at home. Hence, Santa Fe will be looking to balance the scoreline tomorrow.

José Silva; Kevin Mantilla, José Ajá, Julian Millán; Fabián Viáfara, Fabián Sambueza, Iván Rojas, José Enamorado, Christian Marrugo, Dairon Mosquera; Wilson Morelo.

Going in the matchup, pressure is likely to test the best of the two teams. Moreover, the home side will look to exploit the poor midfield congestion of Club Santa Fe and register a win at home. Secondly, the conceding average of Santa Fe is higher (2.50 goals), which gives Envigado some favor. Therefore, I am predicting decent scoring from Envigado against Santa Fe. The game total is expected to be under 2.5 goals and Envigado to win or the match to end in a draw (1-1).

• Double Chance - Envigado FC or Draw for 1.50
• Both Teams to Score - Yes for 1.90
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.6
