In the early hours of Thursday, Central Cordoba SdE and Gimnasia La Plata go head-to-head in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Central Cordoba SdE form guideLeonardo Madelon’s team is currently in 16th place in the Primera Division standings. Their recent form has been decent, as they head into this clash on a four-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.
However, Central Cordoba SdE has won just two of their previous seven competitive games. They have been relatively effective in front of goal of late, having scored at least two goals in five of their last eight matches in all competitions.
The home team have found victories hard to come by in the Argentinian top flight, winning just two of their last ten league matches.
Central Cordoba has struggled on home soil lately as a 2-0 home win over Huracan ended a four-game winless run at home. The game followed a familiar low-scoring trend for their recent home matches, as their previous ten matches on home soil have all produced under 2.5 goals.
Gimnasia La Plata form guideThe visitor's recent form has been mixed, as they have won one of their last four competitive games. A 1-0 home win over Huracan ended a three-game winless streak in all competitions.
Their recent games have lacked goals, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last ten competitive matches.
The visitor’s recent league form has been poor. However, the aforementioned win over Huracan also ended a three-game winless in the Argentinian top flight. Their recent league matches have been lacking in goals, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last seven games in the Primera Division.
Gimnasia La Plata has a poor recent away record in the Argentinian top flight, as they have lost six of their previous eight matches on their travels.
What am I backing?Both teams have not been playing well recently. As a result, I predict that this game will be evenly matched and end in a draw.
