Santa Fe vs America de Cali - Primera A

When Santa Fe and America de Cali clash at the home ground on May 13, 2026, the stakes extend well beyond a single result — this is a Primera A fixture that carries real weight for both clubs. Josh Allen had an impressive first game at the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium in their second NFL fixture of the season.

Both Santa Fe and America de Cali will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Primera A. Santa Fe have blown hot and cold, WDDDW across their last five and a win rate of 37.5% that leaves room for improvement. America de Cali have made a habit of winning on the road, their LDDWL run backing up a remarkable season win rate of 66.67%. The contrast in attacking output — 1.5 versus 2.22 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. On Wednesday night, Infantino was given the "full support" of FIFA's management board in a statement despite being forced to abandon his plan to sell stakes in a company to run the World Cup to private investors.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Santa Fe will look to impose their style on home soil, while America de Cali are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Schalke were third bottom for possession in winning the second tier, let alone facing Bayern.

Individual quality could tip the balance. The league's leading scorer Y. Guzmán, with 16 goals to his name this season, is a reminder of the firepower on display. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. That was a modest score compared to the seven that Feyenoord racked up at PEC Zwolle but PSV's 4-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam was arguably the most significant.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result. With positions in the Primera A table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. And Fonseca does not place too much weight on the decision of Roberto Martinez to omit him from the World Cup squad in favour of his Benfica team-mate Tomas Araujo.
