One of the fixtures in the Argentine Cup will take place on Sunday at the Alfredo Terrera Stadium, where the local Central Cordoba will host Quilmes. I propose a bet on the outcome of this clash with good odds.
Match Preview
The "Railroaders" had a disappointing last championship, finishing 22nd in the league table. However, they won the national cup by defeating Velez Sarsfield in the final. In the new Argentine Apertura, Central Cordoba is currently impressing with their results. After 10 rounds, the team is in sixth place in the standings, four points ahead of Racing, who are ninth.
In the last round, the "Railroaders" played an away match against Tigre, who are in the top 3, and managed to take three points, winning 2-1. Despite Tigre looking better and the xG indicating this – 2.04 against 1.64 – the visitors, after conceding in the 72nd minute, managed to score twice after the 80th minute and snatch victory.
Meanwhile, Quilmes, the oldest club in Argentina, is currently in the second-tier division, Primera Nacional. Last season, the team finished third, losing 21 points to San Martin Tucuman. The new season has just begun, and the teams have played only six matches.
After the played rounds, the "Brewers" are in ninth place, but All Boys and San Miguel have the same points and are higher due to a better goal difference. In the last round, Quilmes defeated Arsenal Sarandi away with a score of 1-0. This victory was the second consecutive one for the "Brewers", who had not known the joy of victory in Primera Nacional before.
Probable Lineups
- Central Cordoba: Aguirre, Pillud, Casermeyro, Rivero, Trindade, Moyano, Bobadilla, Gomez, Angulo, Heredia, Cabral
