Independiente Santa Fe is experiencing one of its best moments after a 2023 in which it did not qualify in either championship. Today, the present is hopeful for the club, because it reaches the home runs solid, with a consolidated backbone with goalkeeper Andrés Mosquera, midfielder Daniel Torres and the scorer Hugo Rodallega, who has 9 goals in the League. Santa Fe, led by Pablo Peirano, has taken full advantage of the 3-line defense scheme. They are an offensive team that plays fast and has different ways of developing the game. On the other hand, it depends too much on what Hugo Rodallega does. When the scorer is missing, the team suffers. Santa Fe has needed a game generator that gives it greater clarity, since that role falls on its front-line midfielders.
Tolima: Favorite: great attack, great game

Deportes Tolima reaches the home runs as one of the favorites in group B. It is a team that, under the command of David González, has a lot of balance, with good offensive play and good touch on the ball. His key man is midfielder Yeison Guzmán, who not only gives him clarity but also has a goal, he has 8 goals in the championship. Tolima is a team that knows how to play final stages and already has a lot of work to do with coach González, which has allowed it to be an aggressive team both at home and away. It is also the highest scoring team in the championship, with 31 goals. The Ibagué team is the favorite to be a finalist according to the statistics agencies Xpecta Sports and Matics. On the other hand, Tolima sometimes makes defensive errors that cost them goals. You need to adjust some parts.
Equity: Craft, bravery and attack

La Equidad is a caring team, a team that can be a thorn in the side of anyone. Its structure has its advantage, being a very difficult team to beat, with great defensive work. La Equidad has taken advantage of its destructive game, but this semester it has implemented a collective offensive game that has given it results. That is to say, anyone who believes that La Equidad only defends and makes mistakes may be wrong. In any case, it is the team that has committed the most fouls among the four in this group, with 241, according to Win Sports statistics, but be careful, it is also the team that shoots the most, with 321 shots. Their scorer and figure is Kevin Viveros, 24 years old and who has 7 goals. On the other hand, La Equidad has sometimes complicated itself and its irregularity, evident throughout the tournament.
Once Caldas: regularity: from more to less

Once Caldas does not arrive as a favorite in group B, but that condition can work in its favor, it could be the surprise. Eleven, in their best games, has shown that they can be a really difficult opponent, but they are very irregular. They have a lethal scorer like Dayro Moreno, his figure with 8 goals, who however has been dull in recent times. If Dayro wakes up, Once Caldas will be dangerous, but a lot depends on him. Another aspect in favor is t
he hand of coach Hernán Darío Herrera. Once Caldas has had an irregular campaign and that is why it was almost left out. In addition, it is a team that usually gives advantages at home. It comes from three straight games at home without being able to win. Although they already beat Tolima, they tied with La Equidad and lost with Santa Fe in their own stadium.
