Betting on Club Atlético Independiente
Independiente’s present is full of uncertainty. The Avellaneda team has quickly found itself without a coach. The team is looking for a replacement and, meanwhile, it is being managed by Pedro Monzón, but it urgently needs a win to get some peace of mind.
The Diablos Rojos have only won on the first matchday away. However, they have failed to secure a single win in front of their home crowd. In fact, the team’s only two losses have come at its own stadium. Another concerning aspect is the number of red cards the team has received: five in nine matches played. Not only is this team the most sent off team, but it also holds the record for the most fouls committed in the tournament, with a whopping 146.
A key fact: of the seven goals the team has scored, four have come from penalties and one from an opponent’s own goal. Clearly, the team is struggling in front of the goal, as it has the fewest shots on target in the Argentine Firrst Division, with-25.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Rodrigo Rey; Cristian Báez, Sergio Barreto, Édgar Elizalde, Damián Pérez; Iván Marcone, Sergio Ortiz; Baltasar Barcia, Kevin López, Tomás Rambert; Martín Cauteruccio.
Betting on Estudiantes
Estudiantes had a rough start to the tournament, which forced the team to change its coach. Eduardo Dominguez took over for Abel Balbo. Unfortunately, the new coach’s debut didn’t go as planned, losing the derby against Gimnasia. However, the team is on the rise now. It defeated Newell’s and got off to a good start in the Copa Sudamericana, keeping its goal clean in both matches, something that used to be a challenge for the Estudiantes team.
Their offensive restlessness is backed up by statistics: it is one of the four teams with the highest amount of shots (127 attempts, 40 on goal). Playing away, the team has had a hard time: it only won against Godoy Cruz. Now, the team is coming off two lost matches in a row away.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Mariano Andújar; Santiago Núñez, Luciano Lollo, Zaid Romero; Leonardo Godoy, Santiago Ascacíbar, Jorge Rodríguez, Gastón Benedetti; Benjamín Rollheiser, Fernando Zuqui; Mauro Boselli.
JefeBet Prediction
Independiente is under extreme pressure to win in front of its fanbase and will do so with a lot of effort against a tough opponent that always struggles when playing away.
Prediction: Independent Moneyline (IND 1 – EST 0)
