Betting on Resistencia
Resistencia pulled off a great performance last week, and it attained its first victory with a 3-0 score over Sportivo Ameliano. The team had lost two matches in a row, and it was among the worst teams of the campaign, but now it can finally take a breath, after earning its first three points.
Four months have passed since its previous victory, a 1-0 win over Libertad in October, ending a negative streak of nine matches without a win in that period.
While playing at home seems to benefit some teams, this is not the case for Resistencia, which is not so reliable at home. The only game the team has played on its home field this campaign resulted in a 2-0 loss to Libertad. It has four games winless matches, with one draw and three defeats, and only one goal scored during that stretch.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Leandro Requena; Guillermo Pacheco, Diego Cespedes, Francisco Alarcon, Marcelo Jorquera; Nelson Sepulveda, Alejandro Camargo, Cesar Munder, Franco Garcia; Gaston Lezcano, Cecilio Waterman
Betting on Guarani
Guarani continues to recover from its 1-0 debut loss to Libertad, and now it has two draws in a row. The team hasn’t been able to correct its defensive mistakes yet, allowing goals in each of its matches played so far, and it has conceded a total of four goals.
El Cacique tends to have difficulties when playing away from home, as evidenced by its recent record: five matches without a win in all competitions, with four defeats suffered during that period. In fact, the team ended its losing streak with a 1-1 draw against Cerro Porteño in its most recent away match.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Nicola Pérez; Bernardo Cerezo, Rafael Caroca, Lucas Abascia, Juan Córdova; Jorge Henríquez, Manuel Rivera, Juan Leiva; Bayron Oyarzo, Andrés Vilches, Alex Valdéz
JefeBet Prediction
Guarani is under more pressure for having failed to get three points so far, but possibly this will be the challenge the team were waiting for, to play against a lower level opponent. These teams have played against each other two times at home in Resistencia, and neither has resulted in a Guaraní loss. Perhaps, that positive streak can continue in this clash.
Prediction: Guaraní wins by a score of 1-2.
