Belgrano vs Talleres
In the context of a remarkable campaign, Belgrano showed a disappointing performance last Sunday, when they lost 2-0 away at Boca Juniors. In fact, it was their second loss across the last three league matches, along with a single win in that time. However, El Pirata remain on 27 points in the Liga Profesional, occupying seventh place of the respective table and far away from relegation threats. In fact, Belgrano are on five home matches unbeaten, having won the last three and drawn the previous two. Centre back Alejandro Rebola served his one-week suspension and is available for Sunday’s derby.
Talleres come to the city derby after an impressive performance last Sunday, when they managed to beat River Plate 2-1 at home thanks to a brace netted by Rodrigo Garro. Javier Gandolfi’s men made it three league victories in a row to climb into third place of the Liga Profesional table, accumulating 30 points, two behind second-placed San Lorenzo and seven behind their last opponents. In fact, La T have been confident on the road this term: they registered four wins, two draws and a single defeat so far.
Big derby that will have two of the league’s top scorers (Vegetti has 9 for Belgrano while Santos have 10 for Talleres) so I expect this to be a game with at least a couple of goals.
