The last time Barracas Central vs Instituto faced off was back in 2021 when they were both in the Primera B Nacional (Second Division). However, on May 5, they’ll meet for the first time in the First Division of Argentine soccer. Both teams have had their fair share of ups and downs in the first 14 games of the season. In fact, neither has managed to win in their last three matches.
While Instituto sits higher in the overall standings, it’s only a three-point difference between the two, so this clash will be crucial for both teams.

Betting on Barracas Central
Barracas Central has only managed to win three out of the 14 matches played so far this season, with five draws and six losses completing the tally. The low number of victories may not be a major concern at this point, but their inability to win in the last three games and having only one win in the last five matches is worrying.
Their attack has been lackluster, scoring only 10 goals, which is the third-lowest in the league. In fact, they failed to score in their last three games. Although two of their three wins came while playing at home, they suffered a painful 0-2 defeat in their last home game against Defensa y Justicia. It’s unlikely that a Barracas Central home game will cover Over (2.5), as six of their seven home games have had less than 2.5 total goals.
Probable lineup (5-4-1): Andres Desabato; Mauro Peinipil, Nicolas Capraro, Francisco Álvarez, Fernando Prado, Rodrigo Insúa; Facundo Mater, Carlos Arce, Iván Tapia, Marcos Benítez; Bruno Sepúlveda.
Betting on Instituto
In terms of statistics, Instituto is currently better than their upcoming opponent, with one more victory and a total record of four wins, five draws, and five losses in 14 matches. However, just like Barracas Central, the team from Córdoba is finding it tough to get positive results and is currently on a three-game winless streak.
In their last game, Instituto lost 0-2 to Central Cordoba, in what was their third defeat in the last five matches, all of them without scoring. Although 50% of their victories have come as visitors, they are not reliable for victories in this condition, since they lost their two previous games, both by a score of 1-0.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Jorge Carranza; Juan Franco, Leonel Mosevich, Fernando Alarcón, Jonathan Bay; Gabriel Graciani, Roberto Bochi, Nicolás Linares, Gastón Lódico; Santiago Rodríguez, Adrian Martinez.
JefeBet Prediction
These teams are showing similar performances, and as both are in the midst of bad streaks, the most expected result for this match could be a draw and possibly the score will be within the Under (2.5) range.
Prediction: Draw (BAR 1-1 INS).
