Betting on Audax Club Sportivo Italiano
Audax Italiano isn’t coming into this match against the Argentine team at their best. While it’s true that the Chilean team clearly defeated Universidad Catolica to enter the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana, they have not fared well in the local league.
The team coached by Manuel Fernández is currently second to last in the Chilean football league with only 7 points, surpassing only the bottom-placed Copiapó by one point. In fact, with only one victory in 9 games, the Italico team hasn’t celebrated a win since January 29th. Since then, they have played seven games without being able to win any of them.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Joaquín Muñoz; Nicolás Fernández, Carlos Labrin, Osvaldo Bosso, Estaban Matus; Marcelo Díaz, Fernando Juárez, Matías Sepúlveda; Luis Riveros, Gonzalo Sosa, Gonzalo Ríos.
Betting on Club Atlético Newell’s Old Boys
Newell’s has had a turbulent start to the season in the Argentine League, with four wins, two draws, and three losses. Indeed, their erratic performance has left them in the tenth position in the standings with 14 points.
The team from the city of Rosario has struggled both in attack and defense, scoring only nine goals and conceding ten. On average, they have conceded one goal per match. In their last game, they suffered a crushing defeat against Estudiantes de La Plata, losing 3-0.
Possible lineup (3-4-2-1): Mariano Andújar; Luciano Lollo, Jorge Rodríguez, Zaid Romero; Leonardo Godoy, Santiago Ascacibar, José Sosa, Emmanuel Más; Benjamín Rollheiser, Pablo Piatti; Mauro Boselli.
JefeBet Prediction
Let’s talk about stats, folks! Both teams have been scoring and conceding goals at a similar rate lately. Sadly, their performance in their respective leagues hasn’t been anything to write home about. However, the Argentine team seems to have a bit more of a lucky streak going for them than their Chilean counterparts.
Nonetheless, Audax Italiano has already proven they can hold their own against some tough opponents in the international arena. So, let’s not underestimate them just yet. That’s why, here at JefeBet, we’re predicting a nail-biting goalless draw.
