Once Caldas
- Once Caldas have won both of their last 2 home games to nil (W2, D0, L0).
- Once Caldas come into this game 5th in the Primera A 2026 table with 3 points from 1 game, the home side has enjoyed a solid start to the campaign and can build on their run of 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 matches.
Independiente Santa Fe
- Independiente Santa Fe have won 1 and lost 1 of their last 2 away games (W1, D0, L1).
- Santa Fe sit 11th in the Primera A 2026 league table with 1 point from 1 game, a disappointing start to the season for the visitors.
- The visitors have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches (W1, D2, L2), so they will need to improve to take points from this one.
Key Players
- Independiente Santa Fe have made a solid if unspectacular start to the new campaign and new boss Pablo Repetto has made an immediate impact on the playing style of the team, who now play a higher tempo and are much more active when out of possession.
- Santa Fe press as a team and look to dominate the ball in the advanced zones as part of Repetto’s more offensive philosophy.
- Once Caldas have a more traditional, compact setup and their approach is to get their shape right and use the striker as the focal point in transition.

Key players:
- Dayro Moreno has hit the ground running for Once Caldas this season and has scored 2 goals in 1 Primera A 2026 game and has also scored 2 of their last 4 goals, so he really is the talisman up front for the White Army.
- Christian Mafla is Santa Fe’s most reliable finisher with 1 goal in 1 Primera A 2026 match and he has scored 2 of their last 3, so watch out for him to break free at the top of the pitch.
