Central Cordoba – Lanus
CA Central Cordoba continue to improve game after game. Last time out, El Ferroviario secured a massive 2-1 away success at Defensa y Justicia thanks to goals from Leandro Maciel and Marcelo Benitez. The team made it two consecutive victories and four across their last six league games, drawing one and losing one in that time. Accumulating 14 points, Leonardo Madelon’s men opened a healthy five-point gap over the first relegation spot in the point-average table, occupied by Sarmiento.
Lanus showed great effectiveness to beat relegation candidates Sarandi Arsenal 3-0 at home in the context of an even game last Friday. Thanks to that victory, El Granate put an end to their five-match winless streak of two draws and three defeats in league action and made it 17 points in the Liga Profesional, escaping from potential relegation threats regarding the point-average rankings. On a sorry note, Frank Kudelka’s men are on three away games without a win in this competition, having drawn one and lost two since beating Estudiantes 2-0 in round three.
All 5 of Central Cordoba home games so far this season had 2 goals or less and I expect this trend to continue as they might both be tired with little time to rest between rounds.
