Santos vs Santa Fe Prediction 5 May 2017

On May 5 2017 at 01:45 in the Brazilian Santos at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira the regular game of the fifth round of the Copa Libertadores group stage will be played between the local Santos and Santa Fe.

The preseason wasn’t really successful for Santos, as it seems to us. They were kicked-off form the Campeonato Paulista in the quarterfinal as they lost to Ponte Preta after two legs which no one could predict. Yet they are still in the race for the Copa do Brasil as they made it to the quarterfinal of it. As for the Copa Libertadores, in this competition Santos haven’t lost a single game yet as they drew Sporting Crystal and Santa Fe and outplayed the Strongest.

As for the Colombian Santa Fe, they haven’t shown any outstanding results in the Primera Apertura even though they are still in the promotion play-offs zone. They have already played 16 matches where they gained 23 points. Today Santa Fe are four points below the third place and 18 points the leaders. As for the Copa Libertadores, Santa Fe have really good chances to make it to the play-offs of this international competition after four matches played in it. They gained 4 points with 3:2 goal difference which let them take the second position in their group.

The upcoming game on Friday will be only the second one played between the teams. We must remind you that the first game was also played this year in the Copa Libertadores in Colombia and the teams drew 0:0 in it. Santos are still more titled and experienced and they mostly show positive results in their home matches. As for Santa Fe they only won two of their latest ten away games played. That’s why we think that the hosts are very likely to win in the upcoming match.
