Early on Saturday morning, Belgrano Cordoba and Rosario Central face off at the Estadio Julio Cesar Villagra in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Belgrano Cordoba form guideThe home team needs a change of fortune as they have failed to win in their previous five matches in the Primera Division, having suffered four defeats in the run. A 4-0 loss at Estudiantes La Plata last time out means that Belgrano has now failed to score in their previous five league games.
Their impotence in front of goal has contributed to four of their previous five matches in the Argentinian top flight producing under 2.5 goals.
Belgrano Cordoba’s recent home form has been the definition of inconsistent, as they have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five home matches.
Those recent home matches have seen goals in short supply, with nine of their previous 11 games on home soil producing under 2.5 goals.
Rosario Central form guideThe visitors have encountered mixed fortunes of late in the Argentinian top flight. Although they have won just once in their previous seven games in the Primera Division, they have also only lost once in the same run, as five of the seven matches have ended in draws. The mixed recent run of league form has the visitors in seventh place in the league table.
Rosario Central’s recent matches have been low-scoring, as five of their previous seven games in the Argentinian top flight have seen under 2.5 goals.
The visitors have not been in sparkling form on their travels in the Primera Division, as they have failed to win in their last eight league matches away from home. However, five of the eight away matches have finished in draws.
What am I backing?Neither team has been in great form in the Primera Division lately, and I expect this to be a relatively close game. Therefore, I am backing the draw.
