# Santa Maria at Monte Alto, 2026
Monte Alto gets the nod in our crystal ball, but barely, as the model likes the home team by just two points in this non-district matchup. With a 55 percent win probability for the hosts, this one screams toss-up, meaning the eye test might tell you something different than the algorithm. Santa Maria has every reason to believe they can steal one on the road, so the real question is whether you trust the slight Monte Alto lean or fade it entirely. Either way, expect a tight affair that could come down to the final possession.
