Santa Fe vs. Deportivo Cali: Lineups and match details in Colombia

Santa Fe and Deportivo Cali face each other this Tuesday, September 22, at 10:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at the El Campín Stadium in Bogotá, for the 2026 Colombian Championship. The clash draws fans' attention as it pits two teams in good form against each other, both looking to consolidate their positions in the Clausura stage table, also known as Finalización. Although the match promises to be highly competitive, Brazilian fans will not have any broadcast options on television channels or streaming platforms.

Santa Fe maintains home unbeaten run

As the home team, Santa Fe takes the pitch defending their unbeaten home record in the national league. The team has 16 points in the standings after nine matches, recording a recent overall record of ten wins, nine draws, and only two defeats in their last 21 games. In the previous round, the Bogotá team thrashed Alianza Petrolera 4-1 away from home, bouncing back from their recent Copa Sudamericana quarterfinal elimination by Vasco da Gama. The main attacking threat is striker Nahuel Lautaro Bustos, who has already scored four goals in the tournament.

Deportivo Cali looks to overcome away inconsistency

Deportivo Cali enters the match in eighth place with 15 points. Head coach Rafael Dudamel's side is motivated by two consecutive wins in the national tournament, having defeated Cúcuta 3-0 and Once Caldas 2-1. However, the club's away form has been inconsistent this season, with two wins, one draw, and two defeats on the road. After being eliminated from the Copa Colombia by Atlético Nacional, the squad is trying to maintain league consistency to secure a spot in the next stage.

Recent head-to-head history shows major advantage for Bogotá side

The head-to-head history shows a significant advantage for Santa Fe. In the last ten meetings between the two teams, the Bogotá side has emerged victorious seven times, while Deportivo Cali has won only once, alongside two draws. In their five most recent matches, Santa Fe secured four victories. The streak is even more daunting when Deportivo Cali plays away: the visiting team has not beaten their rivals in seven games overall and has lost all of their last five encounters at the El Campín Stadium.

Probable lineups for the Colombian clash

For the tactical duel refereed by Alejandro Moncada, the managers are expected to field their strongest available lineups. Santa Fe, led by head coach Pablo Repetto, should start the match with Mosquera; Palacios, Olivera, Scarpeta, and Angulo; Torres and Toscano; Palacios, Fagúndez, and Zapata; Bustos. Meanwhile, Deportivo Cali is expected to feature Gallese; Velasco, Álvarez, Caldera, and Viáfara; Cuéllar and Chaverra; Bello, Benedetti, and Martínez; Dinenno.
