Santa Fe vs VascoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

CONMEBOL Sudamericana quarter-final between Santa Fe and Vasco DA Gama, two clubs that have never met before in a competitive fixture. The competition average is 2.30 goals per game. How they arrive Santa Fe do not appear in a table at this stage, so the reference points are their last five outings: a 3-2 home win over Millonarios, 1-1 away at Junior, 1-1 away at River Plate, a goalless home draw with America de Cali and another goalless one with River Plate in front of their own crowd. One win and four draws, with 5 goals scored and 4 conceded and two games ending blank: the numbers of a side that gives little away but struggles to finish matches off. Vasco DA Gama are running to a different rhythm: 2-0 away at Vitoria, 3-1 at home to Cruzeiro, 1-0 at home again with Vitoria, then a 1-4 defeat at Palmeiras and a 4-1 away at Olimpia. Four wins and one defeat, 11 goals scored and 6 conceded. Vasco DA Gama in the group The visitors finished second in Group G on 10 points from six matches: three wins, one draw and two defeats, 10 goals scored and 6 conceded. At home the record reads two wins and one defeat with 7 goals scored and 2 conceded, while the three away trips brought one win, one draw and one defeat with 3 goals at one end and 4 at the other. That is the firmest measure of how Vasco DA Gama handle themselves away from home. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
