Colon vs Independiente
Colon secured an important point in round nine, when they drew 2-2 away at Rosario Central in spite of having fielded an alternative XI. However, the team are now on five league matches without a win, having drawn three and lost two since beating Barracas Central 2-1 playing as hosts at Patronato. As a result, they accumulate 13 points in group B, trailing fourth-placed Boca Juniors by three at the moment.
Independiente fans should have felt gutted after the team’s 1-1 home draw against Tigre as they conceded the equaliser in stoppage time. As a result, El Rojo continue producing an irregular campaign with 11 points in nine matches in group B, trailing fourth-placed Boca Juniors by five. El Rojo drew five of their last seven league games, having won one and lost one in that spell. On away turf, Eduardo Dominguez’s men collected five points from 12 on offer in the league so far as a product of one victory, two stalemates and one loss.
They both played midweek cup games so tiredness should be an equal factor, but Colon is here the better team, they have real chances of getting into the playoffs and I like these odds on them to win at home.
