Betting on Independiente
Independiente has now gone six games without a win, with four draws and two losses, and in its last challenge, they drew with Barracas Central. The local team was only able to take all the three points in its official debut in the Argentine League thanks to a narrow win against Talleres de Córdoba.
“What happens on Saturday depends on him, but it would be a shame if he does not continue”, said Fabián Doman when asked about Leandro Stillitano’s continuity in case of an adverse result. El Rojo occupies the 22nd place in the domestic league and the coach is the main target of the fans.
However, Stillitano will keep the starting eleven from the last matchday. The only change will be forced due to Sergio Barreto’s expulsion, so he will be replaced by Cristian Báez.
So far in the competition, the home team has yet to win at the Estadio Libertadores de América, where it registers two defeats and a draw. Will the locals be able to bring joy to his fans for the first time in this match?
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Rodrigo Rey; Luciano Gómez, Cristian Báez, Joaquín Laso, Ayrton Costa; Iván Marcone, Agustín Mulet; Baltasar Barcia, Matías Giménez, Javier Vallejo; Martín Cauteruccio.
Betting on Colón
The visitors also failed to get off to a good start at the local level. They are at the bottom of the league with just four points, after four draws and three losses. Playing away, they have not won since October 9, 2022, in a 2-1 victory over Platense in the domestic tournament.
The team coached by Néstor Gorosito has accumulated four consecutive draws and arrives at this transcendental clash after a 1-1 draw with Newell’s Old Boys, with goals scored by Joaquin Ibanez and Jorge Recalde.
In addition to the bad moment that Colón is going through, we must add that of the last 12 meetings between the two teams, the Santa Fe team has only won once. Will the visiting team be able to put an end to this negative streak in this Independiente vs Colón? What is certain is that the statistics encourage betting on a victory for the host.
Probable formation (4-4-2): Ignacio Chicco; Eric Meza, Facundo Garcés, Paolo Goltz, Rafael Delgado; Carlos Arrúa, Baldomero Perlaza, Stefano Moreyra, Santiago Pierotti; Cristian Vega, Jorge Benítez.
JefeBet Prediction
The past twelve duels between the two have given the home team’s fans hope, with its opponent keeping a clean sheet once. In addition, the Avellaneda team went goalless in 58% of the matches.
In addition, the Over (2.5) was achieved in 50% of these matches. For this reason, at JefeBet we predict a win for the home team and many goals on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Moneyline of Independiente and Over (IND 3-1 COL).
