Instituto comes to this game after an impressive victory over Boca Juniors at La Bombonera (2-3). Although the Boca Juniors team was the most dominant throughout the match, the truth is that the Instituto's strategy worked. Instituto entered the game very strongly, and after 20 minutes of the game, they were already winning by 0-2. As expected, the Boca team reacted, and in the 1st half injury time it would end up reducing to 1-2. But Instituto would come back strong in the 2nd half and after 46 minutes would increase the lead to 1-3. Boca would still reduce to 85, but the result would remain unchanged. In a game in which they were not favorites, the Instituto team showed enormous defensive support and excellent offensive effectiveness. This victory allowed Instituto to rise to 11th but tied with the same points as Talleres Cordoba. It should be noted the enormous quality that the Institute has shown in home games, in which they remain unbeatable, with 1 win and 3 draws. Instituto will make use of this factor to achieve victory in this Cordoba derby.

After a brilliant start to the league, in which they reached 1st place, the last 3 rounds were disastrous. With 2 defeats and 1 draw in the last 3 games, Talleres Cordoba dropped to 10th place, tied with the same points as Instituto. The match of the last round was once again disappointing for Talleres Cordoba fans. Despite being more dominant and creating opportunities to win, the truth is that they lost at home against an afflicted Banfield. Despite having the 2nd best attack in the competition, with 12 goals, the truth is that the Talleres Cordoba team was only able to score 2 goals in the last 3 games. In addition, in the last 3 games, they have conceded 4 goals, as many as they had conceded in the total of all previous rounds. Talleres Cordoba are in difficulties, but the international break could have been well used to recover the players physically and mentally. In a game as important as a derby, Talleres Cordoba has to improve its offensive and defensive indices.
