⭐ Editor's Prediction
Santa Fe are considered slight favourites for this match, and the visitors' higher class gives reason to agree with that assessment. Yes, they won the first leg 2-0 and much is already clear, but they should continue to play from a position of strength away from home too. Unión Magdalena will need to be more active and take greater risks, which could hand the visitors additional chances in attack. Our pick is therefore Santa Fe - Handicap (0).
