Instituto vs Talleres Cordoba: Prediction for the Match on November 16 2025

The fixtures in Argentine football rarely carry the emotional pageantry as well as the sense of territory, such as an Instituto vs Talleres derby and this Round 16 match presents itself at an intriguing point in the lives of both clubs. Instituto are attempting to find their feet following two consecutive losses, Talleres are going to the match with renewed self-esteem after a close yet justifiable victory over Platense. In addition to the rivalry, the match is important as the two clubs remain on the mid-table as shaky ground- one good month will see them climb to the top 10, a bad week will see them close the bottom so hard. This will be a derby with different game models and players with contrasting forms, which will be dictated by rhythm, control swings and momentum swings.

Instituto: Form and Statistics

Instituto has approached this derby with a still sore 2-1 loss to Sarmiento Junin in which they were dangerous but could not confirm their superiority. They lost their third consecutive game (vs Rosario, Dep. Riestra and Sarmiento) and have only scored twice during that period. Only a few areas of their defense are weak: they allow more than 1.5 goals in a fifth of home games, though what is more alarming is that they do not score in every third game at home. Nevertheless, their total number of shots is still good at almost 14 attempts per game and various stages of their recent game showed a team with the ability to move forward through midfield in a clean manner when they are not pressed in the early phases of the game.The greatest strength of Instituto always has been their propensity to high pushback of the fullbacks and the creation of overloads, which frequently leads to the opportunities of the second balls or crosses.

Instituto: Lineup

Instituto are likely to follow the same format in the loss at Sarmiento Junin, and continue with their usual 3-4-3 that can change to 5-4-1. The back 5 is once more Beltran and Pereyra as the fullbacks, both will be aggressive at the overlap. Mendez and Lodico have found the optimum balance of ball recovery and distribution with the double pivot that is unlikely to change because of the recent results. In the higher tones, Cordoba Mosquera must remain the key player, joined by Luna and Romero.

Instituto starting lineup (3-4-3)

Roffo – Mosevich, Zalazar, Alarcon – Beltran, Mendez, Lodico, Pereyra – Luna, Cordoba Mosquera, Romero

Talleres Cordoba: Form and Statistics

Talleres comes with a momentum of two wins in a row ( vs Velez and vs Platense ) both founded on defensive stability and quality of transition. They have only been beaten on one occasion during their previous three games and are creating threatening opportunities at the start of halves- 41 percent of their goals are between the 41st and 60th minute. The away scoring statistics of Talleres are not particularly good, as they do not score in almost half of their away games, but the fact that the number of chances created in the past two rounds is improved indicates a team that receives the challenges of the Clausura well. Talleres give up minimal big chances and their defensive blocks are disciplined particularly when handling central overloads. Their shot on target output is quite high relative to a mid table team with an average of close to five each game which implies that even with low volume, they can be efficient in the final third.

Talleres Cordoba: Lineup

Talleres must now reoffer the 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 hybrid that he used against Platense. Schott, Catalan, Palomino and Baez, must constitute the defensive line - compact, aggressive and timely in the raising of an arm. Girotti and Galarza in the midfield provide Talleres with a powerful central backbone in the attack and recovery of balls. Ortegoza and Caceres are running up and down on the wings and Rick is supposed to be the key contributor at the back, immediately behind Angulo,. The talleres tend to turn into 4-3-3 in possession where Rick goes in between the lines and the wide men stretch out the pitch, providing a chance to make diagonal entries into the box.

Herrera – Schott, Catalan, Palomino, Baez – Ortegoza, Girotti, Galarza, Caceres – Rick, Angulo

Out: Sequeira (injured), Portilla (yellow cards), Angulo, Rick (in doubt)

Head coach: Carlos Tevez
