Betting tips and odds are provided below.

Barracas Central (DDWDL)

The attacking efficiency fell short in a 0-0 draw between Deportivo Riestra and Barracas Central in a match. Barracas Central had 57% of the ball and looked to be more aggressive offensively, with 8 attempts on goal and Deportivo Riestra with 5. Even with that, both teams were unable to carve out clear cut chances. In the 32nd minute Celiz received a straight red card, which left the home side a man light, but they did not stop that Deportivo Riestra would be hit with a heavy setback. Yet the team managed to hold on to the result, the defence keeping the opposition from getting any shots on goal during the period. In the second half Barracas Central took the game by the scruff of the neck, increasing possession to 69 percent and 11 attempts on goal with three on target. The away team couldn’t convert the chances they created though, as they were beaten by 3 important saves from the goalkeeper and a well organised defence from Deportivo Riestra. Riestra despite being outclassed managed to stop Barracas' attacking efficiency, who were unable to make use of their advantage on the pitch. Barracas Central had 63% possession across the match, 19 attempts on goal and 5 shots on target while Deportivo Riestra tried to level things up with 10 attempts and 3 shots on target. Defensive balance meant a lot for the home team, who constantly felt the pressure from their opponents. No changes were made on the scoreboard as both teams laboured to make play translate into attacking efficiency. With this result, Barracas Central is in 28th place in the table with 22 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, with a record of 12 goals scored and 30 goals conceded.

Lanus (DLWLW)

Instituto were beaten 2-0 by Lanús in a match only won in the second half. The chance to score was few and far between and the first half was balanced. In possession, Lanús had 54 per cent to Instituto’s 46 per cent but could not translate that into effective shots, having just one shot on target. Lanús also showed more aggression in the second half and opened the scoring in the 52nd when Torres scored after Salvio assisted. Aquino, however, took advantage of a play by Bou to extend the lead in the 74th minute for the team which continued to press. I tried to react, but a solid defense and an ineffective attack proved to be too much for Instituto, which only had two shots on target the whole game. In total, Instituto had 52% possession, but it was Lanús who had the greater chances, 21 shots, eight on target. The goalkeeper made six saves across the match and his defense was still needed. Lanús, however, were much more cohesive and particularly in the second half, were able to gain three key points in the competition. With this result, Lanus is in 15th place in the table with 35 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 2 wins and 3 draws, with a record of 25 goals scored and 28 goals conceded.

Extra Betting Tips

In the last 4 games between these 2 teams, Barracas Central has won 1, Lanus has won 2, and they drew another. Goals were scored in all of those games, but with both teams scoring in none of the matches.

I think that Lanus will not lose this match despite playing away. I think that draw is a likely result.
