Central Córdoba had a poor performance in the spring edition of the Diego Maradona Trophy, collecting just eleven points over 14 rounds. However, they did manage to advance past a strong opponent, Quilmes, in the national cup. The Primera Division has been a complete disaster so far. Four rounds have passed, and The Railroaders haven't even managed to secure a draw. While they faced giants like River Plate and Boca Juniors initially, they then lost away to Belgrano and at home to Talleres. Central Córdoba had lost all four of their opening rounds in the Primera Division. Godoy and Montoya are questionable for the game.
The Red Bugs have not lost in their last six head-to-head matches. However, in February of last year, the Railroaders managed a 1-0 victory at home. First-Half Performance: Argentinos Juniors win the first half in 37% of their matches, while Central Córdoba does so in 21%. The Red Bugs perform well at home. Therefore, they are expected to defeat the underdog with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Argentinos Juniors to win with -1.0 handicap.
