Central Cordoba (LLDL)

Central Cordoba will hope for a significantly improved performance against Argentinos Jrs, after 2 losses in their last two matches. In fact, in their last 4 games, they have 3 losses, grabbing just a draw against Boca Juniors in round 2.

In all of those matches, Central Cordoba couldn't score any goal, making them the worst offense in the league. Besides not scoring goals, they also average the lowest ball possession per game (only 37% per match) and one of the lowest shots per game (an average of 7 shots per match).

They have conceded goals in 3 of the 4 matches, being the exception of the 0-0 draw against Boca Juniors. Yet, they are not the worst defense in the league, conceding just 5 goals in these 4 matches, averaging 1.3 goals per match. But if you can't score you can't win.
