RACING CLUB v COLON
Wednesday 21st June 2017 – Kickoff: 1910
Football – Argentina – Primera Division Betting Tips
My next pick features two clubs that are fighting to maintain their positions in the top 10 of the Argentinian Primera Division, hosts Racing Club and visitors Colon, who meet at the Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo Perón.
Racing Club’s form over the past few weeks has been sporadic as they’ve collected wins over Gimnasia, San Lorenzo and an unexpected 3-2 win away at River Plate last time out, but they’ve also succumbed to defeats against Temperley, Independiente and Rosario Central.
However, the three recent losses were all incurred away from home, while they’ve put together a strong run of seven league matches without defeat on home turf, winning six of these amidst an overall record of 10-3-1 27/12. The attacking trio of Bou (10 goals), Martinez (9 goals) and Lopez (7 goals) need to be watched.
Visitors Colon sit just one league position and one point below their hosts as they head into this top 10 encounter, as they too have posted indifferent results of late in their quest for a Copa Sudamerica spot.
A 2-1 home win over San Lorenzo last time out ended a sequence of five Primera Division games without a win as they’d drawn three and lost two prior to that much needed boost. Colon had previously put a four-match winning streak together on their travels with wins at Union Santa Fe, Belgrano, Quilmes and Sarmiento, but have since lost at Temperley and drawn at Rosario Central.
Colon possess an away record of 7-3-4 17/11 and they also possess an attacking trio capable of goals that consists of Leguizamon (5 goals), Vera (5 goals) and Blanco (6 goals).
In short, both teams are capable of scoring and conceding goals so I think both will score tonight, in what could be a draw.
Pick: Both teams to score @ 1.95 bet365
