One of the 22nd-round matches in the Argentine Championship will take place on Tuesday in Córdoba, where local club Belgrano will host Instituto. I suggest a bet on the total number of goals in this match, which offers favorable odds.
Match Preview
Belgrano’s season has fallen short of fans’ expectations, with the team accumulating 27 points and sitting in 15th place. In the previous round, they drew 1-1 away against Banfield, scoring first. Leading the attack is Franco Jara, who has scored 12 goals in 22 matches, emerging as a pivotal figure for the club.
However, the hosts have gone five matches without a win, and their vulnerable defense remains a weak point. They have conceded in their last four games, affecting their results. Belgrano averages 1.14 goals scored and conceded per match, showing balance but struggling with consistency in both finishing and defense.
Instituto, on the other hand, is in 10th place with 29 points but is on a four-game winless streak. In their recent 2-3 home loss to River Plate, they showed fighting spirit but ultimately fell short. Despite a challenging period, Instituto has displayed attacking potential, scoring six goals in their last five matches. However, their fragile defense has also been costly, conceding eight goals over the same period.
Probable Line-ups
- Belgrano: Espínola, Leguizamón, Rébola, Delgado, Compagnucci, González, Rolón, Quiñón, Velázquez, Reina, Jara
- Instituto: Roffo, Rodríguez, Brizuela, Rucuena, Cerato, Rodríguez, Lodico, Dubersarsky, Russo, Battallini, Puebla

Prediction
Both teams enter this match on winless streaks, increasing the likelihood of a stalemate. Our bet for this match is a "Draw" at odds of 3.05.
