This match features a side from Colombia’s first division (Jaguares) against a side from the second division (Real Santander).

Correct Score Prediction

My correct score prediction is a 2-0 victory for Jaguares de Cordoba. While there is a clear difference in quality, Colombian cup games can often be cagey affairs. Jaguares have more than enough talent to control the game and secure the win, but they won’t need to over-exert themselves. Expect a professional performance where they score a goal in each half while their superior defence easily contains the limited attacking threat of the visitors.

Team News Jaguares de Cordoba

Manager Hubert Bodhert will likely see this as a chance to rotate his squad, giving valuable minutes to players who have been on the fringe of the first team in the league. However, he will ensure the core of the side is strong enough to avoid any potential embarrassment. Key veterans will likely start to guide the team before being substituted in the second half if the result is secure.

Team News CD Real Santander

For Real Santander, this is one of the biggest games of their season. Manager Óscar Álvarez will field his strongest possible lineup and will set his team up to be defensively compact and hard to break down. Their game plan will be to frustrate Jaguares for as long as possible and hope to snatch an opportunity from a set-piece or a quick counter-attack.
