Betting on Arsenal
Things continue to go wrong for Arsenal Sarandi as it suffered its third defeat in a row, losing 2-0 to Newell’s last weekend. With a total of 11 losses after 16 matches played, the team accumulates the highest amount of defeats in the league. In fact, apart from the previously mentioned negative results, the team has only managed to secure three wins, two draws, resulting in a total of 11 points. It also has the second-worst defense, having conceded 24 goals, only surpassed by Racing, which has conceded 26.
Two of the three victories that Arsenal Sarandi has secured so far were won at home, and managed to score two goals in each. However, the team has suffered two defeats in a row at home in all competitions, and it has lost 60% of its last ten games in front of its fans.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Alejandro Medina; Lucas Souto, Néstor Breitenbruch, Joaquin Pombo, Adrián Spörle; Santiago Toloza, Gonzalo Muscia, Felipe Peña Biafore, Lautaro Guzmán; Flabian Londoño, Facundo Pons
Betting on Independiente
Independiente is looking to get back on track after going through a rough patch. The team is currently on a three-match undefeated run, recording two wins and a draw. Overall, the team has achieved three wins, eight draws, and five losses in 16 matches played. The fact that two of those victories have come in the last 15 days shows that the team is trying to redeem itself.
Playing away might not be one of Independiente‘s favorite things, as it has only managed to attain one win in eight matches. Said victory took place in January against Talleres resulting in a 0-1 score, and since then, the team has gone winless for seven matches on the road.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Rodrigo Rey; Mateo Barcia, Joaquín Laso, Christian Javier Báez, Ayrton Costa; Juan Cazares, Sergio Ortiz, Martín Sarrafiore, Javier Vallejo; Martín Cauteruccio, Matías Giménez.
JefeBet Prediction
None of these teams have been efficient. However, Independiente seems to be getting back on track, as evidenced by the points it has been collecting. This team does not have great numbers playing away, but it has won its last three visits to the Julio Humberto Grondona Stadium, and it has not lost there since June 2013.
After its thrilling victory over Tigre last weekend, at JefeBet, we are certain that Independiente will replicate its formula and claim the win. At DraftKings, Independiente’s win line has odds of +135. So, if you bet $100, your profit would be $135.
Prediction: Independiente’s Moneyline (ARS 0-2 IND)
