Independiente Rivadavia vs Instituto

 

Independiente Rivadavia put up a good fight on their visit to defending champions Rosario Central (at Estadio Unico de San Nicolas) last Thursday, but they ended up suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat. That result put an end to their two-match winning streak in the Copa Liga Profesional. Therefore, La Lepra remain on six points after four rounds, dropping out of the playoff zone but still safe from relegation threats. At home, Independiente won three of their last four matches, losing only once in that spell.

Instituto rescued a valuable point in a thrilling derby against Talleres last Monday, when drawing 2-2 playing as hosts at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. La Gloria remain into the playoff zone in group A after accumulating eight points in the first four Copa Liga Profesional rounds and also made it seven league games without defeat, with three victories and four stalemates in that spell. On away turf, Instituto are unbeaten in the last nine, having won four and drawn five.

Instituto’s games have been a goal fest lately after they struggled to score for a very long time: they scored 7 in the last 3 games, but also conceded twice in the last game vs Talleres. Independiente Rivadavia looked good lately, even on the 1-0 unlucky defeat at Rosario, so I’ll for this very short totals line here as I can see both teams scoring.

BET: OVER 1.75 @ 1.85
