Belgrano
- Club Atletico Belgrano are flying high with 15 points from 8 Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 games, enough to put them seventh in the standings.
- Ricardo Zielinski’s men are unbeaten in their last two home matches, winning both and seem to be hitting a groove in this Cordoba clásico as the home side.
- They have conceded just two goals in their three home league fixtures this season, which has allowed them to set up in compact 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 blocks with plenty of defensive order and quick transitions to take advantage of.

Recent stats:
- Won 3, Drawn 1, Lost 1 in their last 5.
- Undefeated at home in the league this season (Won 2, Drawn 1).
Talleres
- Talleres de Cordoba have had an inconsistent start to the season, sitting 17th in the table with 11 points from 8 games.
- Their away form has left a lot to be desired, with Walter Ribonetto’s men winning just once in 4 trips, though they have one win, one draw and one loss from their last 3 on the road.
- However, Talleres will need to be at their best to get something here as Belgrano have not lost in 3 home matches, where they’ve conceded just twice.
Key Players
- With Lucas Passerini providing 3 assists from only 5 league games, he is a key cog in the machine.
- Franco Vazquez is the top scorer for Belgrano this league season with 2 goals from 7 appearances.
- Valentin Davila is enjoying a mini-purple patch for Talleres with 2 of their 4 goals in the last 5 games.
- Ronaldo Martinez has been the most clinical attacker for the visitors with 2 goals from 8 league appearances this term.
Betting Insights
- This game is a chess match between two very different tactical approaches.
- Belgrano will sit deep, be compact and look to counter with their best players, while Talleres will try to open up the game, create space on the flanks and press their opponents into mistakes.
- For this reason, under 2.5 goals looks extremely overpriced at 1.48.
- Belgrano come into this one at 2.54, slightly favorites against a Talleres side at 2.98.
Prediction
Given Belgrano’s strength at home and solid defensive record, we are going with a home win for Zielinski’s side as they look to avenge their failure to win their last 2 home games against Talleres.
