Argentinos Jrs vs Talleres

Argentinos Juniors are going through a worrying situation. Last time out, the team couldn’t hold onto a 1-0 lead and lost 2-1 at Tigre, who played with ten men during over 80 minutes. El Bicho earned a single point from the last 21 available, having suffered five losses in a row. Coach Ezequiel Carboni resigned after the game. With a match in hand, Argentinos are bottom in the league table on six points and have slid into 20th spot of the relegation table. The team also lost their last four matches at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Meanwhile, Talleres drew with Aldosivi 0-0 at home two weeks ago in a boring game. After finishing the last term in fifth, the team from Cordoba are now producing an irregular campaign, with 15 points in 12 rounds. However, they have been improving lately, losing just one of the last five games (two wins and two draws). Furthermore, Talleres haven’t conceded in the last three. The side won at San Lorenzo 1-0 in their last league travel to break a three-game losing run on the road.

Argentinos has conceded goals in 6 of their last 7 games (10 goals in total) and don’t think they will get better overnight, but they are desperate for points so I have to bet on this short totals line.

BET: OVER 1.75 @ 1.81
