Barracas Central vs Talleres
Barracas Central continue to leave good impressions in the Copa Liga Profesional. Last Wednesday, the team focused on defending and secured a valuable 0-0 away stalemate at Banfield. Therefore, Alejandro Orfila’s men made it three league matches unbeaten, having won two and drawn one without even conceding, to accumulate eight points in the first Copa Liga Profesional rounds. As hosts, Barracas registered one victory, one draw and one loss this term.
Talleres gave their fans reasons to celebrate last Thursday, when they scored twice in the last seven minutes of the game to reverse the score and beat Argentinos Juniors 2-1 at home. Therefore, La T extended their unbeaten streak to four league games (three victories and one draw) to make it ten points in the Copa Liga Profesional, which allowed them to climb into one of the playoff spots in group A. In addition, Talleres managed four points from six on offer on away turf so far. Left back Blas Riveros continues to recover from a muscle injury.
Barracas didn’t lose in the last 3 games but their rivals were weak teams like Riestra, Atletico Tucuman and Banfield. Talleres will be their first tough rival since the 0-2 vs River and it should be too much for them.
