Betting on Resistencia Sport Club
The Red Triangle isn’t having its best season, currently standing in tenth place with only three wins so far. This team no longer has any hopes of winning the title and is now focused on accumulating points to improve its position in the relegation zone, where it is currently in last place.
In fact, it is tied with Tacuary in the league standings, so any success it can achieve will be a breath of fresh air. However, the problem is that the Resistencia team has gone five matches without a win, with only two draws, which is not good for its objectives.
In its last game against Guaraní, it lost 1-0, and it was clear to see its main issue. Cerro’s main concern involves not generating any attacking plays, as evidenced by its 10 goals in 15 games. This makes it difficult for it to avoid relegation.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Rodrigo Muñoz; Alcides Barbotte, Gustavo Vargas, Fernando Román, Miguel Benitez; Hugo Dorrego, Marcelo Palau, Estivel Moreira, Rodrigo Amarilla; Victor Martinez, Enrique Javier Borja.
Betting on Club Cerro Porteno
Cerro is still dreaming of the championship, and there are only six points separating it from the Cabbage Growers. Obviously, it doesn’t entirely depend on itself, since it needs Libertad to also drop points. However, in the meantime, it can’t afford to slip up.
This team has already won five games in a row and hasn’t played against Libertad yet. If it keeps adding points and playing well, it could face the leader in a hypothetical final on the penultimate day of the tournament.
In fact, Cerro has gone two games without conceding a goal. It thrashed Guaraní 3-0 and beat Guaireña 2-0 last time out. This team is ruthless when it has the opportunity.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Jean; Eduardo Brock, Alberto Espinola, Claudio Aquino; Damián Bobadilla, Angel Cardozo, Federico Carrizo, Piris da Motta; Diego Churin, Roberto Morales
JefeBet Prediction
The Cyclone will continue to rack up points in its pursuit of the title. It is the second-best team on the road in the tournament with five wins and only one loss, having scored 13 goals. At JefeBet, we believe that Cerro will add one more victory and continue its strong run. Moreover, there will be plenty of goals in the match, as the weak defense of Resistencia (having conceded 24 goals) will be facing off against Cerro’s powerful offense.
Prediction: Over and Cerro Porteno Moneyline (Resistencia 0-3 Cerro Porteno)
