Betting on Arsenal Sarandi
Carlos Moncho Ruíz, Arsenal’s coach, will not have an easy time throuout the season. He took charge of the first team in the early hours of 2023 after the departure of Luca Marcogiuseppe in the middle of the preseason. However, he is also suffering from the lack of new players.
That was clear against San Lorenzo, with whom they lost 1-0. The performance of a team that needs to win at any cost, given that it is 26th in the relegation standings, was very poor.
This week, however, they had some good news: the incorporation of Flabián Londoño, a Colombian striker who arrived on loan from River Plate, where he was not considered by his new coach, Martín Demichelis.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Alejandro Medina, Lucas Souto, Ignacio Gariglio, Maximiliano Centurión, Adrián Spörle, Tiago Banega, Braian Rivero, Lucas Brochero, Santiago Toloza, Lautaro Guzmán, Facundo Pons.
Estudiantes de la Plata Preview
It was not the start expected by the Estudiantes fans. The loss against Tigre at home was a hard blow, and that is why this week the team’s coach, Abel Balbo, change some of the names in the starting lineup.
Mateo Pellegrino is expected to join Mauro Boselli in the attacking front, with Matías Godoy moving to the left flank in the line of three midfielders. There would also be a change at the back, as Juan Cruz Guasone would join the central duo with Zaid Romero.
Meanwhile, it is expected that Guido Carrillo, recently arrived from Chinese soccer, will be included in the squad during this weekend, as he is working to get ready both physically and in terms of soccer.
Probable lineup (4-1-3-2): Mariano Andújar, Leonardo Godoy, Juan Cruz Guasone, Zaid Romero, Emanuel Más, Jorge Rodríguez, Benjamín Rollheiser, Santiago Ascacíbar, Matías Godoy, Mateo Pellegrino, Mauro Boselli.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be a very even match, although Arsenal is clearly in a team building process. That is why at JefeBet we see Estudiantes as the clear favorite, who will take the three points from the Viaducto.
Prediction: Estudiantes wins 2-1.
