Win Probability: Real Cartagena or Boyaca Patriotas FC?

Based on the available data, the calculated win probabilities are: Real Cartagena has a 50% chance of winning, the draw is at 28%, and Boyaca Patriotas FC has a 22% chance. This conclusion uses the inverse of the best available odds—home win (1.62), draw (2.10), and away win (4.40)—normalized to a 103% bookmaker margin to derive fair probabilities. These are then adjusted upwards for the home side, factoring in Boyaca Patriotas FC's very poor away form (1 draw, 4 losses) against Real Cartagena's relatively stable, though draw-heavy, record. The head-to-head advantage for the away side prevents the home probability from being even higher.
