On Saturday night, Primera Division strugglers Instituto Cordoba and Tigre do battle at the Estadio Jose Dellagiovanna in what could be a pivotal game for both teams.
Instituto Cordoba form guideDiego Dabove’s team are in 20th place in the Argentinian top flight, having collected just 26 points from their previous 23 outings. Their recent record in the Primera Division is poor, as they have won just once in their last seven league games.
Instituto’s recent league games have lacked goals, as five of their last seven matches in the Primera Division have produced over 2.5 goals.
Despite their recent poor form in the Argentinian top flight, Instituto is unbeaten in four home matches, having recorded two wins and two draws. Their recent home games have certainly been close encounters, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last matches on home soil.
Tigre form guideThe visitors are just a place and a point below their opponents in the Argentinian Primera Division standings. A poor recent run of league form has played a key role in Tigre’s low position in the table, as they head into this game on the back of five defeats in their last six matches in the Argentinian top flight.
The fact that Tigre has failed to score in four of their last seven Primera Liga games has greatly impacted their poor results.
Despite that poor scoring record, Italian forward Mateo Retegui has scored ten goals in 19 appearances in the Primera Division this season.
Juan Sara’s team has been travel sick of late in the Argentinian top-flight, as they have failed to win in their previous nine away games, having lost the last four away matches.
What am I backing?This could be a vital game for both teams in the Primera Division. This will likely be a tight, tense and low-scoring, so I am backing under 2.5 goals scored.
