Deportivo Riestra still have work to do regarding adaptation to the top flight. On Tuesday, they found trouble on their visit to Argentinos Juniors and ended up losing 2-0. That defeat means El Malevo remain on a single point after two rounds, which leaves them bottom in the point-average table. In addition, they saw a ten-match unbeaten streak of seven victories and three draws coming to an end. At home, Riestra have been without defeat in the last five, winning three and drawing two.

Barracas Central produced a worthy performance against defending champions River Plate playing as hosts at Lanus, but they ended up losing 2-0 despite displaying a great effort. Alejandro Orfila’s men remain on a single point in group A after Copa Liga Profesional rounds and it seems they will fight to avoid relegation. In fact, El Guapo are without a win in their last eight league matches (five stalemates and three losses).

First home game ever in the top division for Deportivo Riestra and they’ll be looking to get their first win and also score their first goal so motivation can’t be any higher. Barracas looked poor in defense midweek vs River, but they will have available veteran striker Ramon Abila, who would be by far their best attacker, so I’ll go for the OVER here on this very short totals line as I expect both teams to go for the win.
