The Argentine League is heating up and getting ready for an action-packed weekend. Hang on tight, because matchday 9 is going to be a long one that will extend all the way to Monday, with several matches to look forward to. One of the most exciting games will take place at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero, where Central Cordoba vs Arsenal will face off.
Both teams are sitting at the bottom of the standings, sharing the same amount of points.

Betting on Central Cordoba
The team from Santiago del Estero is currently sitting in 25th place on the standings with only eight points, having won two games, drawn two, and lost four. They’ve struggled to score goals during this time, with only four goals to their name (tying with Banfield for the least amount of goals scored), while conceding 10.
Their last performance was one to forget, as they suffered a 4-0 defeat against of Vélez in Liniers, with the Buenos Aires-based club putting on a real show, led by their coach, Ricardo Gareca. That night, Central Córdoba had only 40% ball possession, attempted 10 shots but only one on target, committed nine fouls, and only got four corners, the same number they conceded.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Marcos Ledesma; Brian Blais, Fabio Pereyra, Gonzalo Goñi, Gustavo Canto; Leandro Maciel, Mauro Pittón; Ciro Rius, Brian Farioli, Lucas Besozzi; Facundo Castelli.
Betting on Arsenal
Arsenal is also in a tough spot, occupying the 22nd place with eight points, after winning two games, drawing two, and losing four, just like their opponents on Monday. They share the same stats in terms of goals conceded, with 10, but Arsenal has scored seven goals, which makes the difference in the standings.
Their last game was against Tigre, a home match they won 2-0 with goals from Luis Leal and Tiago Banega. It was a great victory on that Saturday afternoon, despite having only 41% ball possession. They managed to attempt 12 shots and hit five on target, the same number as their rivals, who attempted 24 shots. Arsenal only got two corners in their favor, while conceding seven.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Alejandro Medina; Néstor Beintenbruch, Maximiliano Centurión, Joaquín Pombo, Adrián Sporle; Tiago Banega, Felipe Peña, Braian Rivero; Juan Cuesta, Luis Leal, Lautaro Guzmán.
JefeBet Prediction
Central Córdoba and Arsenal Sarandí have only crossed paths three times before. The scorecard shows one win for Santiago del Estero, one for Sarandí, and one draw. It’s been a pretty close contest between these two teams, but we don’t expect this match to be particularly thrilling. At JefeBet, we’re calling it a draw, with no goals scored as the most probable result. It will be a very even clash, as the previous games indicate, but at JefeBet we don’t think it will be a particularly entertaining one, so a goalless draw is fair enough.
Prediction: Moneyline Tie (CEN 0-0 ARS).
