Racing Club
Independiente Rivadavia
One of the matches in the 22nd round of the Argentine Championship will take place on Monday at the “Juan Domingo Perón Stadium”, where Racing Club will host Independiente Rivadavia. I suggest a bet on the number of goals in this match, with excellent chances of success.
Match Preview
Racing has been delivering stable performances this season, securing fourth place in the Superliga, just behind Vélez Sarsfield, Atlético Huracán, and Unión Santa Fe. Under the guidance of Gustavo Costas, the club has won three of its last five matches and managed one draw, showing reliable play both in defense and attack.
Recent victories over Barracas Central (2-0) and Instituto (2-0) highlight the team’s ability to maintain control, even in challenging games. The defense, led by the experienced Leonardo Sigali and Gastón Martini, has been particularly dependable.
On the other hand, Independiente Rivadavia has faced difficulties in this Superliga season, currently sitting in 21st place with a goal difference of -7. Under Alfredo Berti’s leadership, the team is striving to improve in both phases of play, but a lack of finishing has cost them valuable points.
In recent matches, such as the 1-1 draws against Estudiantes and Rosario Central, the team showed resilience, but the lack of cutting-edge attack often results in missed opportunities. Their away form has also been underwhelming, with just two wins in 11 games.
