Almagro perform in the Argentine Primera B Nacional. The team picked up 49 points in 34 clashes alongside with 26 goals for and 21 goals against. In 2017 Almagro conducted seven encounters on the road recording two victories, three draws and two losses in them. The side’s strong spot is the play in defense although the team’s offense potential is suffering because of it.
Last head-to-head between the opponents dates back to 2009. After that the teams went to different divisions and haven’t met since then. Taking into consideration the home field-advantage, as well as the rivals’ performance in different divisions, I believe that the hosting side at least won’t lose the fight in the statutory playing time especially considering the team’s strong play at its own turf.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Rafaela to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
