Racing – Central Cordoba

Racing Club managed their second consecutive victory under interim boss Claudio Ubeda last Saturday, when they beat Sarandi Arsenal 3-0 away. Thanks to that success, La Academia climbed into second spot in the Liga Profesional’s table on 14 points (having won four, drawn two and lost one), trailing leaders Independiente by one. They also approached the Copa Libertadores’ places in the 2021 aggregate table (currently out due to goal difference). At home, Racing managed 16 points from the last 18 on offer in domestic action since losing to Godoy Cruz 4-2 in April.

CA Central Cordoba wasted a 2-0 lead last Saturday, when they ended up drawing 2-2 against Platense as hosts at Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades. That result extended their winless streak to four league games (two stalemates and two defeats): Gustavo Coleoni’s men earned only six points in seven rounds so far, which keeps them near the bottom spots in the relegation table. Furthermore, El Ferroviario are on seven matches without a win on away turf, registering four draws and three losses since beating Aldosivi 2-1 in March.

Racing has looked confident since the coach change winning back to back games, and they should get a third one at home against this poor Central Cordoba.
