Instituto: form and statistics
Instituto have been on a roller coaster ride trying to get some stability, only emerging victorious twice in their last five games. They have struggled while being on the road and have just won one from nine matches on the road and conceded 17 goals in the process. Things have not improved for Luna and Lodico, whose nine combined goals have not increased the overall goal average – with 1.0 goals scored and 1.25 conceded each game. They only convert 9% of their opportunities from the field as goals, a clear problem with conversion.
Instituto: Lineup
Instituto should maintain their 4-2-3-1 structure, that gives both stability and defense and good chances on the offense. Roffo will play in goal, alongside Alarcón and Zalazar in the centre defence. Pereyra and Franco are scheduled to play as full-backs. Luna, Lazaro, and Lodico are seated behind Klimowicz, while Mac Allister and Moreyra, are the centre mid pair. The organised backline of Instituto will be a big test for the opposition team in breaking through the Institute’s defensive lines. Godoy is out with a red card, being a major blow to Instituto
