We feel that Argentinos Juniors and Central Córdoba should play out a closely-fought contest here. A draw looks like a realistic possibility, but we’ll see what happens. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 score draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
Argentinos Juniors have lost 6 of their last 7 away matches (Liga Profesional). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Central Cordoba de Santiago's last 6 home games (Liga Profesional). Argentinos Juniors have lost with a 1 goal margin in their last 3 away matches (Liga Profesional). Argentinos Juniors are undefeated in their last 5 matches against Central Cordoba de Santiago in all competitions.
A surprise 2-0 away win against Talleres will have confidence flowing for a Central Cordoba side who are destined to struggle this campaign. Evidently, Central Cordoba have a formula to step up on the big occasion beating Boca Juniors prior to the surprise win over Talleres, whilst Banfield and San Lorenzo made light work of Sergio Rondina's side. A draw against Arsenal Sarandi last time out will have been a source of frustration for Argentinos Juniors who have struggled for consistency thus far this season. Diego Milito's Argentinos Juniors side have lost just three of their last 12 matches in all competitions however which points to an element of consistency. 1:1
Central Cordoba will likely remain with only enforced changes given the impressive nature of their victory over Talleres. Ivan Ramirez is an injury doubt and could well be replaced by Jose Gomez. Kevin Mac Allister remains an injury doubt here. Likewise Gabriel Avalos is an injury concern having missed the Arsenal Sarandi draw.
