Form Guide — Last 5
Deportivo Riestra
Riestra’s last five league results read D‑D‑D‑L‑D, with a 1‑1 home draw against Velez Sarsfield and a 0‑3 home loss to Lanus. The three draws show a tendency to keep games level, while the single loss highlights occasional defensive lapses – evidence that a narrow victory, rather than a clean sheet, is the most probable outcome for the home side.
Central Cordoba de Santiago
Córdoba’s recent form is L‑D‑L‑L‑D, featuring a 2‑2 home draw with Defensa Y Justicia and a 1‑2 away defeat to Tigre. The two draws indicate they can hold a line, but three losses, especially the 1‑3 loss at Boca Juniors, demonstrate a fragile attack that aligns with their low away xG of 0.4.
