Head-to-head statistics Cucuta Deportivo - Santa Fe

Inconsistent performances and a shaky defense
Cucuta Deportivo suffered a 0-2 home defeat to Rionegro Aguilas in their previous Primera A fixture on 27 October 2026. Both goals were conceded before halftime, despite the hosts registering more shots - 18 to 14 - and earning 13 corners compared to just two from the visitors.
Cucuta Deportivo sit tenth in the standings with 21 points, still in the hunt for a spot in the Clausura playoffs. The side have shown some improvement recently, picking up three wins and suffering two defeats in their last five outings. However, defensive frailties remain a major concern, as they concede an average of 1.69 goals per game. At the same time, their attack has struggled to deliver, averaging just 1.14 goals scored, which makes it difficult for them to consistently secure positive results.

Five wins in ten matches
Independiente Santa Fe’s most recent home fixture in the Colombian Cup saw them fall 0-2 to Once Caldas 2 November 2026. While Santa Fe dominated in terms of dangerous attacks, leading 91 to 55, they trailed their opponents in shots, registering 10 compared to Once Caldas’ 14.
Independiente Santa Fe currently sit fifth in the table with 28 points, putting them in a strong position in the race for a Clausura playoff spot. However, their recent form has been far from convincing: the visitors have picked up just two wins and suffered three defeats in their last five matches. Looking at a ten-game span, the picture improves somewhat - five victories have helped them maintain their place near the top of the standings. Santa Fe’s main strength remains a solid backline, conceding an average of just 1.05 goals per game. On the flip side, their attack has struggled for productivity, managing only one goal per match on average.
