Betting on Belgrano
Belgrano de Córdoba is in 15th place in the standings with 11 points, as a result of three wins, two draws and three losses. The team scored just five goals, and conceded nine. Overall, it’s not a bad campaign for a team that maintains the same base squad that achieved promotion last season.
However, last week, the team suffered a harsh loss against Godoy Cruz in Mendoza. It was a 3-1 loss, and on that night, Belgrano had more of the ball possession (56% of the time), attempted more shots on goal (12 vs 10 from the opposition), and hit the target six times (the same amount as its rivals). The team committed fewer fouls (8 vs 10) and failed to take advantage of the eight corners it had in its favor. Undoubtedly, the team must be regretting this alarming result.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Nahuel Losada; Juan Barinaga, Alejandro Rébola, Nicolás Meriano, Lucas Diarte; Santiago Longo, Ariel Rojas; Ulises Sánchez, Matías García, Iván Ortigoza; Pablo Vegetti.
Betting on Sarmiento
Sarmiento de Junín is in 19th place in the standings with eight points, which it obtained with two wins and an equal number of draws. Also, the team has recorded four losses. Still, the team manged to score 10 goals and concede 11. But in the averages, it is placed in the 27th place in the standings, so the team is currently in the relegation zone.
Sarmiento is coming off a 2-0 home loss to River Plate, the current leader of the Argentine First Division. With only 30% of the ball possession, the team attempted 14 shots on goal, only four of which hit the mark. Those numbers are weak in comparison to River’s 25 attempts and eight successful shots on target.
To make matters worse, Sarmiento committed a staggering 18 fouls compared to River’s eight, and it failed to capitalize on the nine corners it had in its favor, conceding seven. Indeed, it is foolish not to take advantage of set pieces against a rival like River, especially for a team with excellent headers.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Sebastián Meza; Gonzalo Bettini, Manuel Cargía, Juan Insaurralde, Gabriel Díaz; Sergio Quiroga, Emiliano Méndez, Fernando Martínez, David Gallardo; Luciano Gondou, Javier Toledo.
