Barracas Central take on the visitors Independiente Rivadaviain the round 17 match of Argentinian Torneo Betano. The match will be played on Monday, October 7th at Claudio Fabian Tapia (Barracas).
Barracas Central are celebrating their 120th anniversary this year. Just before the milestone, they managed to reach Argentina’s Primera División. Last season, they secured 15th place, establishing themselves as a mid-table team in the top flight. After the winter break, the team collected 26 points in the Diego Maradona Trophy and advanced to the playoffs. However, it seems they might have exhausted themselves in the process, as they have plummeted to the bottom of the league standings in the regular championship. They haven't won a league match since May. In August, they were knocked out of the cup after a 0-1 loss to Gimnasia La Plata, and they suffered three straight shutout defeats in the league. A solitary goal by Ruiz in September finally brought a long-awaited victory, but they still remain at the bottom of the table.

Independiente Rivadavia is at risk of slipping further. "Los Caudillos del Parque" have finally made it to Argentina’s elite division this season, despite being founded back in 1913. Unsurprisingly, they struggled in the Diego Maradona Trophy, managing only 8 points from 14 matches—the only team performing worse was the experienced Tigre. However, they've gained valuable experience and are now more of a mid-table team in the top division. That said, they went through a rough patch, picking up just 1 point in 5 matches, with the lone draw coming in a 1-1 tie against Boca Juniors. However, September brought some relief with a much-needed victory over Defensa y Justicia, though they followed it up with a 0-2 away loss to Banfield before drawing 1-1 with Instituto.
Since 2019, the teams have played five matches. "Barraqueños" have lost only once, winning three times, including a victory in March during the Diego Maradona Trophy. Both clubs are far from their best form. The prediction is for a low-scoring game with "total under 2.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
