River vs Central Cordoba
River Plate fans will have felt disappointed after the team’s 0-0 away draw at Sarandi Arsenal following a poor performance. However, El Millonario are now on three league games unbeaten, winning two and drawing one, to accumulate 22 points in 14 matches in the Liga Profesional (still seven behind leaders Atletico Tucuman) and continue occupying one of the Copa Libertadores places in the aggregate rankings. At home, Marcelo Gallardo’s men have been irregular in this competition, registering three victories, one draw and two losses so far.
CA Central Cordoba played one of their best games this season last Tuesday, when they secured an easy 3-0 home success over Colon. As a result, Abel Balbo’s men made it three victories across their last four league matches (along with a single defeat in the process) to accumulate 17 points in the Liga Profesional and open a four-point gap over the first relegation spot in the respective table, occupied by Aldosivi.
Central Cordoba has been playing well since the coach change, they come from a big win, and I think they might be able to hold this very irregular River.
