Platense

LWLWLL

Platense will be hoping to bounce back here following the 2-0 Superliga losing effort in their last game against Instituto.

In that game, Platense managed 38% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Instituto got 7 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Fernando Alarcón (82') and Facundo Suárez (89') scored for Instituto.

It has not been often in recent games that Platense haven’t conceded. The facts show that Platense have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 8 goals along the way.

Going into this contest, Platense are without a win at home for the past 2 league games.

Barracas Central

LLDLDD ⚠

In their last game, Barracas Central drew 1-1 in the Superliga tie with Talleres.

Looking at their form, and Barracas Central have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 7 goals overall. At the back, Barracas Central certainly have room for improvement. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, though.

Their prior results show that Barracas Central:

• are undefeated in their last 2 league matches away from home.
• have not won away from home in their last 4 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: Platense

Ignacio Schor (strain), Ciro Rius (Cruciate ligament tear), Juan Pablo Goicochea (Muscle injury), Raúl Lozano (Cruciate ligament tear), Juan Ignacio Saborido (Metatarsal fracture) and Franco Zapiola (Shoulder injury) aren’t available for Platense manager Favio Orsi.

We are thinking that Platense will probably opt for a 3-5-2 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Juan Pablo Cozzani, Gastón Suso, Ignacio Vazquez, Sasha Marcich, B. Barros Schelotto, Iván Gómez, Fernando Juárez, Carlos Villalba, Franco Minerva, Guido Mainero and Mateo Pellegrino.

ℹ️ Team News: Barracas Central

Barracas Central manager Alejandro Orfila has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Agustín Irazoque (Cruciate ligament injury), Facundo Mater (Heel problems), Maximiliano Puig (Broken jaw), Lucas López (Ligament injury), Facundo Krüger (Ligament injury) and Lucas Brochero (Torn muscle bundle) miss out here.

We reckon that Barracas Central might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Marcelo Miño, Pedro Velurtas, Nicolas Capraro, Gonzalo Goñi, Rodrigo Insua, Rodrigo Herrera, Siro Rosane, Marco Iacobellis, Alan Cantero, Maximiliano Zalazar and Alexis Domínguez.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Barracas Central will have a tough ask to break down this Platense team who should get the vital goal that wins it.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 win for Platense at the end of this game.

There should be little in it.
