- Bet: Central Cordoba -0.5 @ 2.03
- Bet: UNDER 2.25 @ 1.89
Central Cordoba vs Barracas Central
CA Central Cordoba are clearly improving under coach Omar De Felippe. Last Monday, the team celebrated a massive 3-1 away success at Sarmiento in an entertaining six-pointer. Thanks to that victory, El Ferroviario accumulated 13 points in the Liga Profesional and climbed out of the relegation spot in the aggregate table, now advantaging bottom-placed Tigre by two points. The side are unbeaten in their last six in this competition, winning three and drawing three. At home, Central managed seven points from the last nine available.
Barracas Central finally returned to winning ways in league action. Last weekend, the team beat Instituto 1-0 away thanks to a strike from Javier Ruiz in the second half. As a result, El Guapo stopped their 13-match winless streak of five stalemates and eight defeats in this competition to make it 11 points in the Liga Profesional, which allows them to stay fighting for a Copa Sudamericana berth. The aforementioned win also arrived after six winless matches as the visiting side (drawing three and losing three).
Central Cordoba are doing their best to avoid relegation, with 4 wins and 4 draws in their last 8 games (including a win and a draw in Copa Argentina) but it’s still not enough because they are 2nd to bottom on both the averages table and the annual table so they can’t relax. They will face the worst team in the league, that played a good game against Instituto but should still be in trouble here against a solid host.
Bet: Central Cordoba -0.5 @ 2.03
River vs Talleres
River Plate celebrated a massive victory in the Superclasico, winning 1-0 away thanks to a strike from Manuel Lanzini in the first half. As a result, El Millonario are back on track in the fight for the league title: they made it 24 points after eight Liga Profesional matches unbeaten (winning three and drawing five), trailing table toppers Velez Sarsfield by nine. In addition, Marcelo Gallardo’s men hold onto their Copa Libertadores’ spot in the aggregate table. River also are unbeaten in their last 16 home matches in domestic action, with nine victories and seven stalemates in that time. On Tuesday 24, River beat CSD Colo Colo from Chile 1-0 at home to reach the Copa Libertadores’ semi-finals.
Talleres keep their standards up to fight for the title. Last Sunday, the team secured three massive points through a deserved 2-0 home success over Racing Club, with Valentin Depietri and Cristian Tarragona scoring. La T made it three league matches unbeaten (two victories and one draw) to accumulate 27 points in the Liga Profesional (six behind leaders Velez Sarsfield) and also to hold onto one of the Copa Libertadores’ spots in the aggregate table. However, Talleres have been winless in their last five domestic matches on the road, drawing three and losing two in that time. Right back Matias Catalan succumbed to a knee injury and will miss out on Sunday while Franco Moyano is suspended after seeing a red card against Racing Club. On the other hand, Ulises Ortegoza returns from his ban.
River are still not playing great but results are coming their way: they advanced to the semifinals of Libertadores and won the superclasico last weekend. But 10 of their last 12 games had 2 goals or less because their football is still not what it used to be under coach Marcelo Gallardo, so I expect to see a tight game here with the visitors putting up a good fight.
Bet: UNDER 2.25 @ 1.89
