Belgrano (LD)

In the second round Belgrano had a tough outing when suffering a 4-0 defeat to Racing Club. However, despite having 48% possession, they were unable to chance create in the attacking third, and only had one shot on target from eight efforts. Belgrano was found to be exposed defensively when Racing’s relentless attack came at them as they let seven shots on target, and 16 in total. Racing scored three times in the second half and, in a particularly problematic period, it was very difficult to penetrate. That is the point of Belgrano’s performance; a change to their defensive habits and to their attack will be necessary ahead of their home fixture against Independiente Rivadavia.

Ind. Rivadavia (DW)

In their last match Independiente Rivadavia played out a goalless draw against Barracas Central. The team had 62% possession but was unable to turn that into goals. They managed eight attempts, a woeful shot to not on target, but struggling in the final third. They were solid defensively giving up one shot on target from the opposition. Their ability to get a hold of the game was also showed and their inability to pick up the cutting edge in front of goal will be something that they have to improve on if they are to get a positive result this time around.

Expert Betting Tips

This match presents both a chance to prove, as both teams have something to prove coming into the game, but at the same time both teams offer different styles in which, Independiente Rivadavia with their possession based approach and Belgrano with their home advantage, this promises to be a great game. A tight affair with Independiente Rivadavia having chances to break on the flanks while Belgrano’s are suspect in defence. Belgrano's home crowd could raise their level while the visitors' ability to keep possession and avoid defensive mistakes gives them slightly the upper hand.
