Colon vs Talleres de Cordoba Prediction: The Red and Black will be closer to success

On 7 July 2022, Colon will face Talleres in the Argentine city of Santa Fe in the return leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup.

Colon

Colón is one of the weakest teams in the Liga Profesional in Argentina. The Red and Black have also been relegated to the bottom table this season. In their last three rounds in a row, they failed to score. They lost to Lanus, Huracan, and Godoy Cruz by the same score of 0:1. The team continues their fight in the Libertadores Cup: their first leg in the round of 16 against Talleres ended in a 1:1 draw, and there is now a return home game.

Talleres de Cordoba

Talleres is an old football club, founded more than a hundred years ago, but in their long history, they have only been vice-champions of Argentina once, back in 1977. A couple of years ago, the Black and Whites made it to the domestic cup final but also lost there. This season, they have been unsuccessful, with only two draws and three defeats in five successive rounds. This modest result leaves the visitors in 24th place on the table.

Expert Betting Tips

Colón and Talleres are teams of a comparable level. This is also evidenced by their proximity in the Profesional League table, where they sit 23rd and 24th, respectively. The result of their first meeting in the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup is 1:1. We cannot even rule out that the game will go beyond regular time, but the home field factor should still help the Red and Black, and you can bet on Colón to qualify for the next stage for 1.71.

We should not expect a high goal-scoring activity in the upcoming encounter. Moreover, in the last six meetings with Colon, they scored eight goals (1.33 goals per game average), and there has never been a total under. In the previous 11 games, Talleres has scored only 14 goals (1.27 on average per game). On this basis, we suggest betting on the total under (2) for 2.09.

As a rule, everything depends on a single goal in cup encounters between teams that are equal and do not have a crazy selection of players. In this upcoming clash, there will be something similar. In addition, in the last six matches against Colon, they have only scored twice, while Talleres has scored in 3 of their previous 11 matches. Therefore, we suggest betting on both teams to score - no for 1.95.
