Santos started the new season well: the team is in the top 5 in Serie A and also reached the 1/8 finals of the Brazilian Cup. In the South American Cup, Santos is currently in second place in the group, but only one team can reach the playoffs. So this match decides a lot.
Union La Calera leads this group, going unbeaten, although the team has no experience playing in the international arena. Moreover, Union La Calera had no success even in the national competition (they took second place once in history).
The first head-to-head meeting ended in a draw, although Santos looked like a clear favorite in terms of play. However, the team could not convert all their chances, and the home pitch factor in South America also has a powerful influence. We believe Santos will achieve victory at home, and a draw does not suit them in any way here.
Our prediction: Santos to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.46
