The Independiente Santa Fe vs Rionegro Águilas Doradas match is scheduled to start on 17 January 2026 at 9:00 PM local time in Colombia, which corresponds to 9:00 PM COT. Colombia does not observe daylight saving time, so this kick‑off is fixed in UTC‑5.

Independiente Santa Fe will host Rionegro Águilas Doradas at Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín in Bogotá, a multi‑use stadium with an official football capacity of about 39,500 spectators and modernized stands and lighting. The venue sits at high altitude in the Colombian capital, which typically favors Santa Fe, who are more accustomed to the thinner air and pitch conditions than visiting sides.

Given Santa Fe’s superior recent home form and Águilas Doradas’ more modest away results, the most likely outcome is a narrow Independiente Santa Fe win, with a home victory priced around 2.10, draw at 3.30 and away win at 3.40. Value bettors may also look at under 2.5 goals near 1.75–1.85, as meetings between these sides in Bogotá often produce tight, low‑scoring contests with Santa Fe controlling possession.

In their last 10 competitive head‑to‑head meetings in Primera A across 2023–2025, Independiente Santa Fe and Rionegro Águilas Doradas are nearly balanced, with Santa Fe winning around 4, Águilas taking 3 and 3 ending in draws. The average total goals in these games has been close to 2.1 per match, underscoring how evenly matched and defensively disciplined these encounters tend to be.
