Talleres v Racing

Cristian Tarragona’s strike in the 88th minute (and playing with ten men) allowed Talleres to secure a massive point on their visit to Rosario Central last Sunday, when they registered a 2-2 draw in an entertaining game. Thanks to that result, La T made it 24 points in the Liga Profesional and returned to the Copa Libertadores zone in the aggregate table after losing only one of their last eight in this competition (two wins and five stalemates). Talleres are unbeaten in their last 12 domestic matches as the hosting side, winning eight and drawing four.

Racing Club showed a great display of effort to return to winning ways last weekend, when they reversed the score to beat Boca Juniors 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Juan Nardoni and Roger Martinez. Having lost only one of their last four in this competition (along with two victories and one stalemate), La Academia made it 24 points in the Liga Profesional (six behind leaders Velez Sarsfield) and also returned to the Copa Libertadores’ zone in the aggregate table. On a sorry note, Racing won only one of the last five on away turf in the league, drawing one and losing three.

Racing lost midweek at Brazil 1-0 against Athletico Paranaense in the Copa Sudamericana Quarterfinals and will play this game with a mixed lineup, what should give Talleres, a very strong team at home, the chance to get the 3 points and at these odds they are a must bet.
