In 6 of the past 6 games involving Colón, a notably low volume of goals have been scored between them and their opposition. The overall average number of goals per game in that period comes out as a mere 1.5, with the average goals for Los Sabaleros equalling 0.5.

Taking a look at their past results, Colón:

• haven't won against Independiente when having played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. Not the best of away records.

📋 Team News: Independiente

The Independiente manager Leandro Stillitano has zero fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash with a fully healthy squad to choose from. Sergio Barreto is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

In all likelihood, El Diablo Rojo should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, utilising Rodrigo Rey, Luciano Gómez, C. Javier Báez, Joaquin Laso, Ayrton Costa, Sergio Ortiz, Agustín Mulet, M. Baltasar Barcia, M. Giménez Rojas, N. Javier Vallejo and Martin Cauteruccio.

ℹ️ Team News: Colón

With a completely injury-free squad to choose from, the Colón boss Néstor Gorosito has no fitness concerns to speak of before this game.

We reckon that Los Sabaleros appear most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 formation, giving starts to Ignacio Chicco, Facundo Garces, Paolo Goltz, Rafael Delgado, Juan Alvarez, Julián Chicco, Carlos Arrua, Stefano Moreyra, Joaquín Ibáñez, Santiago Pierotti and Jorge Benitez.

Our assessment is that Colón have enough to put a goal past this Independiente team, although that is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our selection here is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Independiente by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
