Betting on Talleres
The team from Córdoba lost by 1-0 at home to Independiente (with an own goal against), and won last weekend, when they visited Atlético Tucumán (2-0).
Javier Gandolfi, Talleres’ head coach, hopes to be able to field Diego Valoyes, the Colombian player who did not start the last match because he was not at his best after his return from the Colombian National Team. The concern is not related to his physical condition, since he would be fit, rather to whether he will stay at the club since the last days of the transfer window are passing and the striker is being sought after by clubs abroad.
If he finally plays, Boca will have much to worry about, as it was the first club he scored against (Superliga 2019/20) and he also did it in La Boca, for the 2021 League, before being called up by his national team. Another player Ibarra should watch out for is the Paraguayan Ramón Sosa Acosta, who had an outstanding performance in Tucumán and will be looking to continue on that path, especially against a rival like Boca, which is always a good showcase to raise his profile.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Guido Herrera; Gastón Benavídez, Matías Catalán, Juan Gabriel Rodríguez and Juan Portillo; Ramón Sosa, Alan Franco Palma, Rodrigo Villagra and Francisco Pizzini; Valentín Depietri and Diego Valoyes.
Betting on Boca Juniors
Boca Juniors is coming off a goalless draw against Central Córdoba at La Bombonera. It was a poor result for a team like them. The main shortcomings of Hugo Ibarra’s team, Boca’s head coach, were the poor performance in the midfield and the lack of goals from their forwards.
Looking ahead to the duel with Talleres, El Negro could make some changes with respect to last weekend’s starting 11. Juan Ramírez or Pol Fernández, both poor performers so far, could leave the team and be replaced by Ezequiel Fernández, leaving a vacancy to add a striker, who could be Exequiel Zeballos or Luca Langoni.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Sergio Romero; Luis Advíncula, Bruno Valdéz, Nicolás Figal and Frank Fabra; Ezequiel Fernández, Alan Varela and Óscar Romero; Exequiel Zeballos, Nicolás Orsinni and Sebastián Villa.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be an open game, with a lot of dynamism in the midfield. The history between Talleres and Boca Juniors indicates that they have met 54 times, of which Boca won on 23 occasions and Talleres on 12. Boca suffers from its lack of goals, having scored only twice in five matches this year (two friendlies and three official matches). Meanwhile, Talleres wants to be the protagonist, so it will surely take the reins of the match.
For JefeBet, the xeneize‘s grace period is over, so the result will be in La T‘s favor.
Prediction: Talleres wins 2-1 over Boca.
