Win Probability: Deportivo Riestra or Union de Santa Fe?

After analyzing the available odds, form, head-to-head record, and the home/away factor, we calculate the outcome probabilities as follows: Deportivo Riestra has a 34% chance of winning, the draw has a 24% chance, and Union de Santa Fe has a 42% chance.

The calculation is based primarily on the inverse of the bookmaker odds (best available: home 2.32, draw 3.00, away 3.86), normalized to remove the bookmaker margin. We then applied a slight adjustment to account for Union de Santa Fe's head-to-head win and Deportivo Riestra's poor recent form, which dents the home advantage. Union de Santa Fe is more likely to win this match, though it remains a tightly contested fixture.
