Instituto vs Talleres
Instituto showed interesting skills in round three and secured a massive 2-0 away success at Banfield thanks to a brace from Damian Puebla. Diego Dabove’s men are experiencing a great start, accumulating seven points in three matches to become group A leaders alongside River Plate and also making it six unbeaten in league action (three wins and three draws). At home, La Gloria succumbed to a single defeat across the last seven (winning two and drawing four in that spell). Instituto will host Talleres at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes on Monday. Winger Gregorio Rodriguez has served his two-match suspension and is ready to return.
Talleres fans will have felt delighted as their team showed an enjoyable performance last time out, securing a solid 4-1 home success over defending champions Rosario Central. Walter Ribonetto accumulated six points in the Copa Liga Profesional, climbing into the playoff zone in group A. In fact, La T made it three victories across the last four league games, losing only once in that time. Talleres also beat Huracan (at Argentinos Juniors) in their last away game to stop a six-match winless streak of one draw and five losses as the visiting side.
I’m going with the over here on this short totals line. Instituto comes from scoring 5 in the last 2 games, Talleres scored 4 just a few days ago vs the defending champions Rosario Central. This is a derby and neither wants to lose it so a goal should open things up.
