Sarmiento v Central Cordoba

Sarmiento fans will have felt unlucky after the team’s 1-1 away stalemate at Godoy Cruz last time out, when the team created the better chances. As a result, El Verde extended their winless streak to seven league matches, drawing five and losing two in that time, making it 15 points in the Liga Profesional. Therefore, Israel Damonte’s men remain threatened by relegation, leading bottom-placed CA Central Cordoba by just three points in the aggregate table. At home, Sarmiento have been unbeaten in the last five, with two victories and three draws. Coach Israel Damonte can choose from all his usual starters against CA Central Cordoba on Monday.

CA Central Cordoba want to keep their hope alive to stay in the top flight. Last time out, El Ferroviario reversed the score to claim a massive 2-1 home success over Instituto thanks to a strike from Kevin Vazquez in the 85th minute. The team made it five league matches unbeaten, winning two and drawing three to accumulate ten points in the Liga Profesional. Omar De Felippe’s men remain occupying the relegation spot in the aggregate table, but just one point behind Tigre. On a sorry note, Central are on nine without a win as the visiting side, drawing four and losing five. On Wednesday 18, they won 2-1 over second-tier side Temperley in the Copa Argentina quarter-finals.

Massive game for both who are fighting to get out of the last places of the aggregate annual table to avoid relegation. Neither can afford to lose and a draw could be useless so I expect both to take risks at some point so I’ll go for the OVER.
