Talleres Cordoba take on the visitors Central Cordoba in the round 5 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Saturday, June 25th at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes (Cordoba).
Talleres doesn't look as good this year as it did in 2021. "Matadores" in 2015 were able to rise from the 3rd division of the country. After only a year, it turned out to return to the Liga. After that they reached the final of the 2020 country cup (but with a defeat), and 3rd place in last year in elite division. This gave the Argentines the opportunity to play in the Copa Libertadores, where they quite confidently managed to reach the playoffs from 2nd place in the group. On the other hand, in Copa Diego Maradona, the club de facto failed (only 11 points in 14 matches). Having won 2-0 against Sarmiento in the starting round, Talleres lost to both Independiente and Newell's Old Boys. With Arsenal Sarandi they managed to get a draw on the road. And clash with Chaco For Ever ended with victory in penalties shout-out after 0-0.

Central Cordoba in 2019 were able to advance to elite division – for the first time in almost half a century. But so far, the results of the team are rather mediocre. For example, in the last draw of this tournament, the team finished in 22nd place. Approximately at the same weak level, the team played in Copa Diego Maradona: only 15 points in 14 rounds. And in the new season team is not pleasantly surprising their fans. Central started only with a draw against the debutant, Barracas Central, then they surprised with a victory at home over Boca Juniors. After that Banfield defeated them only because of the late penalty. But with San Lorenzo at home they lost without much chance, 0-2, having conceded both goals after the break.
Talleres did not lose to his neighbor for a long time. But last year, in the Liga, Central Cordoba managed to win 2-1 thanks to a 90+ minute goal. Both clubs have not been particularly impressive in their last matches. So, it is unlikely that even the status of the derby will make the game spectacular - in the end we are waiting "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
