The Argentine League gets under way with 28 teams trying to dethrone Boca Juniors, the last soccer monarch in the land of the world champions. Talleres vs Independiente is a duel that will be facing two teams that have had a 2022 to forget.
Locals had almost touched the sky with their hands in 2021, with a spectacular campaign, and qualified for the Copa Libertadores. However, last year they were far behind in the best competitions and lost the final of the Copa Argentina, which would have been a great consolation.
On the other side, Independiente is far from being the team with the most Libertadores Cups in the continent. With a new board of directors and a brand new sporting process, the Avellaneda team needs to have a good championship in a year in which for the first time in almost a decade it will not play in any international cup.
Having said that, at JefeBet we offer you all the information about this interesting match between Talleres vs Independiente, as well as the available betting odds, our predictions and the probable lineups.

Talleres Preview
It has been 20 years since Talleres beat Independiente in Córdoba. The last three meetings there ended in victory for the Diablos Rojos.
There was an undeniable change in the very bad 2022 that Talleres faced, and It was the arrival of Javier Gandolfi as head coach, replacing the Portuguese Pedro Caixinha. The new coach – who until recently wore the Córdoba team’s jersey – convinced his players that there was a way to be a competitive team.
For this season, he will have to find a replacement for two defensive stalwarts, Rafael Pérez and Enzo Díaz, the latter of whom has been sold to River. The good news comes from the return on loan from Girona of Nahuel Bustos, a striker who appeared a few years ago as a great promise to such an extent that he was sold to Spain.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Guido Herrera, Julio Buffarini, Julio Buffarini, Gastón Benavídez, Juan Rodríguez, Angelo Martino, Alan Franco, Rodrigo Villagra, Diego Valoyes, Rodrigo Garro, Francisco Pizzini, Michael Santos.
Independiente Preview
Independiente is facing a period of institutional and sporting reconstruction. With the debut of Leandro Stillitano, a rookie coach who is managing in the first division for the first time, el Rey de Copas is looking to recover its playing identity. It will face the new season with the arrival of a dozen reinforcements and the contribution of several young players, who will have to prove if they can withstand the pressures of a very demanding fan base.
The arrival of goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey provides security at the back, while there are high hopes for striker Matías Giménez, who has arrived from San Martín de San Juan.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Rodrigo Rey, Luciano Gómez, Sergio Barreto, Joaquín Laso, Ayrton Costa, Agustín Mulet, Iván Marcone, Tomás Pozzo, Juan Cazares, Rodrigo Márquez, Matías Giménez.
JefeBet Prediction
Talleres is strong at the Kempes stadium, while Independiente is facing its first steps in this new stage. At JefeBet we believe it is possible that Talleres vs Independiente will end in a one-goal draw.
