Independiente

WDDLDW

Independiente, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 0-1 Copa de la Liga Profesional success over Banfield.

In that game, Independiente managed 53% possession and 12 shots at goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Independiente was Jhonny Quiñónez (40'). For their opponents, Banfield had 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target.

It’s been seldom in recent times that Independiente have shown defensive steel. In fact, Independiente have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 6 goals in the process. However, we must now wait to see if such a trend shall be maintained in this next game.

🔮 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Talleres could find themselves struggling to hit the back of the net against this Independiente team who we think might well emerge victorious.

That’s why we have predicted a hard-fought 1-0 advantage for Independiente at full-time.

A close call.
