Independiente Santa Fe will host Goias at the Estadio El Campín on Wednesday in the final round of the group stages of the 2023 CONMEBOL Sudamericana campaign.
The home side have endured mixed results both on the domestic and continental stages this season but remain hopeful of advancing in the Copa Sudamericana. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 2-0 victory over Universitario featuring goals from Neyder Moreno and former Colombia international Hugo Rodallega.
Goias, meanwhile, have struggled for results in the Brasileiro Serie A this season and will hope they can find better luck on the continental stage this week. They played out a goalless draw against Gimnasia in their last continental outing and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
The visitors sit atop Group G with nine points from five games. They will confirm a place in the knockout stages with a win on Wednesday while a draw could also suffice provided Universitario fail to win elsewhere.
Santa Fe's latest result ended a run of back-to-back defeats but marked just their second win in their last seven games across all competitions. They have, however, won all but one of their last seven home games and will be looking forward to the midweek clash.
Goias have won just one of their last five games across all competitions. They have struggled for results on the road of late but could pick up a point here.
Prediction: Independiente Santa Fe 1-1 Goias
Tip 1 - Result: Draw
Tip 2 - Goals - Over/under 2.5 - Under 2.5 goals (Four of the visitors' last five matches have produced fewer than 2.5 goals)
Tip 3 - Santa Fe to concede first: YES (The hosts have conceded the first goal in five of their last seven matches)
