Boyaca Chico
- Boyaca Chico are without a win in 5 games (L4, D1).
- Boyaca Chico are sitting 19th in Primera A 2026 after picking up just 1 point from their opening 3 games and they look up against it here versus Independiente Santa Fe who have made a slightly more solid start to the season.
- In their 3 most recent games, they have been thrashed 4-0 by Atletico Nacional de Medellin, lost at home to America de Cali and held out for a 0-0 draw with Alianza Valledupar.
- In Jhon Romana, Chico have a decent attacking outlet with 1 goal in their first 3 Primera A 2026 games, but Flabio Torres needs to fix a porous defence that has been leaking goals since his appointment in April 2025.
Independiente Santa Fe
- Independiente Santa Fe are unbeaten in 5 games (D4, W1).
- Santa Fe are sitting 13th in Primera A 2026 after 2 points from their first 2 matches.
- However, Pablo Repetto has done a solid job since taking over in December 2025 and there is a pragmatic edge to his team that makes them difficult to beat.
- Santa Fe are an attacking outfit who play a high-tempo 4-2-3-1 formation, pressing from the front and with good width and pace down the flanks when they have the ball.
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head record strongly favours Santa Fe, who are unbeaten in their last 5 meetings with Chico (W3, D2, L0).
- Their meeting at this ground in Primera A Clausura 2025 was a cagey 0-0 draw in which Santa Fe pressed hard and Chico tried to stay compact and frustrated their opponents.
Key Players
Nahuel Lautaro Bustos has provided 1 assist in 2 Primera A 2026 matches and operates as a playmaker in the advanced playmaker role for Los Leones, while Christian Mafla has 1 goal in 2 appearances, making him Santa Fe’s main goal scorer.
Betting Insights
The home side could be frustrated and it is likely that points are going to be crucial for them in their relegation battle, but Santa Fe have the psychological advantage and a much better all-round team than their opponents, so we’re backing the favorites at 1.9 to edge this one out.
Prediction
This game looks like following a similar pattern with Santa Fe’s pressing and possession game up against Chico’s stubborn low block .
