Barracas Central – Talleres

Barracas Central showed a very improved version and took a valuable point on their visit to Boca Juniors last Sunday, drawing 1-1 away after taking the first lead. Even though that result is good news, El Guapo also made it eight Liga Profesional matches without a win, drawing three and losing five in that time. Alejandro Orfila’s men accumulated six points in nine rounds so far, which keeps them out of the continental spots in the aggregate table. In fact, Barracas managed a single point from the last 12 on offer as the hosting side.

Talleres are still finding trouble after the Copa America break. Last Saturday, the team had to settle for a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Instituto in a heated city derby. As a result, La T are on four league matches without a win, drawing three and losing one in that spell. Following that streak, Walter Ribonetto’s men have been displaced from the Copa Libertadores’ spots in the aggregate table even though they accumulated 16 points in nine Liga Profesional rounds. Talleres lost only one of their last nine away games in domestic action, along with three victories and five stalemates.

Barracas has been just awful lately, especially at home where they just can’t stop losing, and they will have to play against this Talleres that has been irregular lately but despite a couple of missings like playmaker Ruben Botta, should have more than enough to win here.

BET: Talleres -0.25 @ 1.79
