Central Cordoba take on the visitors Patronato in the round 8 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Friday, July 15th at Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades (Santiago del Estero).
Central Cordoba recently returned to the elite after a half-century hiatus. The "Railroad" 3 years ago, in the summer of 2019, due to the victory in the penalty shootout, were able to pass Sarmiento in the playoffs. This allowed us to rise to the Liga Profesional - there was no team there for 48 years in a row! The results, however, were extremely modest. In 2021, the team took only 22nd place in the championship. Then, as part of the Copa Diego Maradona, they took only 15 points in 14 matches - in their group, only Rosario Central performed worse. Approximately the same statistics are shown in the national championship. Yes, in the last round hey managed to snatch a draw on the Estudiantes field. But this is already the 4th match in the last 5 rounds that did not bring victory.

Patronato looks a lot like their next opponent. "El Patrón" also for a long time, almost 4 decades, did not play at the level of the top division of Argentina. It turned out to return only following the results of the 2015 draw. And, basically, it all comes down to the struggle for survival in the elite league of the country. For example, last season in the Liga they finished in 23rd place - with 26 participants. There it turned out to score exactly 1 point on average per meeting (25 to 25). Even worse were the results in Copa Diego Maradona. Only ten points were taken there, and it was generally the worst indicator of the group stage of this tournament. Against this background, the start of Patronato in the summer, in the new Liga season, can be considered quite good. Although in the previous round they lost 0-1 at home to Arsenal Sarandi. The struggle continues in the cup as well - Colon was knocked out on penalties recently.
There were 4 matches between the clubs in total. Central Cordoba has only won once, in 2019. Patronato has 2 successes, including last year's 1-0 at home. Central Cordoba is considered the favorite, but it will not be easy for them to confirm this status. It is better to limit yourself to an offer with a bet on neutral "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
