Rionegro Águilas Doradas
- Rionegro Aguilas Doradas are a solid unit that like to lock up the middle third and play quick, with coach Flavio Robatto, who took charge on 16 June 2026, building a team that looks to suffocate opponents by keeping them boxed in and hitting them on the counter.
- Águilas have conceded just 6 goals in their last 5 home games (all-competitions) - an average of 1.20 per game.
Santa Fe
