Talleres Cordoba vs Chacarita Juniors Prediction: Expecting a One Sided Encounter

In the upcoming fixture of Copa Argentina, Round of 16, Talleres Cordoba will be up against Chacarita Juniors at the Vargas Stadium in La Rioja. Talleres Cordoba is actively playing in the Argentina Primera Division, whereas Chacarita Juniors is participating in Primera Nacional Zone B. According to the current points table standings, Chacarita Juniors stands 3rd in the Primera Nacional Zone B with 8 wins and 32 points. On the other hand, Talleres stands tall in the Argentina Primera Division with 11 wins and 37 points. The two sides last competed against each other in 2016 and 2017, and on both occasions, Talleres Cordoba won in clean sheets.

With an impeccable record this season, Talleres Cordoba will be looking to continue winning forward in the Copa Argentinian fixtures as well. Talking about Talleres’ overall match form, it has managed to win four of the last five matches played. In the last outing against Atletico Tigre, Michael Santos scored the opening goal with an assist made by Diego Valoyes in the 18th minute of play. Next, Nahuel Lautaro stole the show with two goals in the final extra minutes of play. Francisco Pizzini was spot-on with the timely assist. In the last five matches played in the Argentine Primera Division, Talleres has scored 11 goals, averaging 2.20 goals per game. In contrast to the scoring average, Talleres has allowed 5 goals, averaging 1.00 goals per game.

Chacarita Juniors is coming off a win against Atletico Rafaela (3-0), in which Matias Ezequiel Rodriguez, Ricardo Blanco, and Lucian Gimenez scored goals at timely intervals. With 2 wins, 2 draws, and a defeat in the last five matches played, Chacarita Juniors will be looking to make a statement. However, winning comprehensively against Talleres isn’t possible. Hence, Juniors might be playing for a draw and then stretch the matchup’s result on penalties. About the scoring, Chacarita Juniors has scored 7 goals in the last five matches played, averaging 1.40 goals per game. Against the scoring average, Chacarita Juniors has allowed 4 goals, averaging 0.80 goals per game. 

Talleres will be starting as favorite against Chacarita Juniors, which is why I am expecting a high-scoring matchup. Talleres has conceded goals in 4 of the last 5 matches played, which is why I am expecting both teams to score. About the match total, both teams have seen over 2.5 goals in the 3 of the last 5 matches played. Hence, the upcoming matchup is likely to produce a total of over 2.5 goals. In order to win, Talleres will be scoring at least 2 or more goals.
