Talleres vs Estudiantes
Talleres are clearly deflating their performance in the league. Last Sunday, the team played below expectations and ended up losing 2-0 away at San Lorenzo, one of the worst teams in the league at the moment. That result means Walter Ribonetto’s men won only one of their last seven league matches, along with four draws and two defeats. La T remain on 20 points in the Liga Profesional, dropping out of the Copa Libertadores’ zone in the aggregate rankings. Coach Walter Ribonetto left the club as a result of this negative moment of form. On a positive note, Talleres remain unbeaten in their last 11 domestic matches at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes, winning seven and drawing four. Mariano Levisman will take over as interim boss.
Estudiantes salvaged a home point against Boca Juniors last Sunday, when they drew 1-1 with Edwin Cetre netting the equaliser in the 80th minute. The defending champions are going through an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, accumulating 16 points in 12 matchdays after three matches without a win (drawing one and losing two). In fact, Eduardo Dominguez’s men secured a single victory across their last five away matches in domestic action, along with one stalemate and three losses. Midfielder Santiago Ascacibar continues to recover from a muscle injury.
Talleres has conceded at least once in 12 of their last 13 games including twice in their game against San Lorenzo last week and that made their coach leave after that game. But also they have one of the top 3 attacks in this tournament so 2 goals are definitely possible here and I’ll go with the OVER.
