Will Santa Fe advance in Libertadores? Artificial intelligence predicted the result vs. Iquique

Independiente Santa Fe faces Deportes Iquique on Tuesday with one goal: to win and advance to the next round of the Copa Libertadores . El Cardenal is playing against its fans to come back from a tie in which it is down after losing 2-1 in the first leg in Chile .

Pablo Peirano 's team played well for some stretches of the first leg, but failed in the defensive zone and Deportes Iquique took the win, although the defeat could have been worse. Santa Fe wants to avoid continental embarrassment at home.

Independiente Santa Fe arrives with seven days of rest to the game because its League match, last Saturday against Bucaramanga , was postponed due to Andrea Bocelli 's concert and wants to take advantage of that extra time.

The statistics also support Santa Fe, who have never lost against Chilean teams in Bogotá; in fact, they have won them all. They beat Santiago Wanderers (3-0) in 2018, beat Cobresal (3-0) in 2016 and beat Colo Colo (3-1) in 2015.

According to AI, that item is a major factor in Santa Fe’s favor. ChatGPT gave its prediction before the game. “To advance to the next round, Santa Fe needs to win by at least 1-0 to equalize the aggregate score and force a penalty shootout, or win by a two-goal difference to qualify directly. According to the odds, Santa Fe has an implied probability of 61.72 percent to win.”

He added: “ Historically, Santa Fe has had an outstanding performance against Chilean teams in the Copa Libertadores. Before the defeat against Deportes Iquique, the Bogotá team had won the six previous matches against Chilean clubs, facing Colo Colo in 2015, Cobresal in 2016 and Santiago Wanderers in 2018.”

The artificial intelligence indicated that Santa Fe would win, but the tie could be decided on penalties. “It is impossible to predict with certainty the exact score, but based on the recent performance of both teams, Santa Fe’s history against Chilean clubs and the need for the Colombian team to come back, a likely result could be a 2-1 victory for Santa Fe, which would take the match to penalties.”
