Dep. Riestra vs Talleres Cordoba Prediction: How will Riestra react to their first loss?

In the seventh round of the Torneo Betano 2025, Deportivo Riestra welcomes Talleres Córdoba. Both sides are coming of a different appearance in their last matches and will be willing to take the three valued points in this match.

Dep. Riestra (LDDWD)

Their last match was a 2-1 defeat to Sarmiento Junin. Benegas scored an early 33rd minute goal, which the team took within the first 10 minutes, but the rest of the game was difficult to control. For most of the match, Riestra fought resolutely with just 28 per cent possession. Nevertheless, we showed too much resistance in the final stages as we shipped two penalty goals (84’ & 90+5’). When Sarmiento was through, they could only muster five attempts to their game total of five, and very clearly couldn’t hold on to the ball for long periods on the field. To take it down, Riestra will have to be more efficient in attack and, above all, avoid last minute mistakes against Talleres.

Talleres Cordoba (DWLLL)

In the last round they tied 1-1 against Atlético Tucumán. However, they failed to convert their dominance in the game (64 percent possession and 19 shots on goal against their opponents' eight) into a victory. Ortegoza equalized for Talleres at the 73’ mark which was assisted by Benavidez, before the home side fell behind in the 47th minute. However, against a team more used to defending against such attacks, they could not find the net from their chances and managed only 2 shots on target in total throughout the match. Looking speculative instead of getting them clear scoring opportunities, the seven blocked shots are the highlight of their efforts. Talleres have the duty to exploit their possession and be more efficient in front of goal against Riestra.

Expert Betting Tips

Deportivo Riestra and Talleres Córdoba’s respective approaches are clearly in contrast to each other: the first camp on a defensive, counter-attacking one, while the latter excels with the possession, aggressive on the attack. Riestra will be expecting another tough game against a much more established Talleres side who, however, need to find the back of the net more often to actually break down the disciplined Riestra defense. As regards the clear favorites of this game, Talleres Córdoba has better technical quality and can control possession. If they are able to run out to a first goal and hold on to it, then Deportivo Riestra could be tricky, playing deep and sitting on their lead. Both teams are likely to score low and Talleres is expected to edge a narrow win over the other team.
