Venezuela’s club Caracas FC will look to stay alive in the 2026 Copa Sudamericana when they visit Colombia’s Santa Fe in the first leg of the knockout round playoffs. This match on Thursday local time in Bogota between the Cardinals and the Reds could be a tight encounter, with our prediction backing the visitors returning with at least a point.
Santa Fe finished third in Group E of the Copa Libertadores and were transferred to this competition. Caracas finished second in the Copa Sudamericana Group E. The winner of this two-legged tie will play River Plate in the round of 16.
Santa Fe’s last competitive fixture was a 1-0 away win at Penarol in May. That result kept them unbeaten within 90 minutes in eight games, but they could win only four of those. Even in the Copa Libertadores, they could win just two of their six games this season (D2, L2), putting question marks over their chances.
Caracas will hope to make the most of that opportunity, as they avoided defeat in five of their six group stage games of this tournament this year. Their last competitive game was a 1-1 draw in Copa Venezuela back in June. That result kept them undefeated in seven of their last eight games coming into this fixture (W3, D4).
