Odds: Argentinos (8/5) Draw (2/1) Belgrano (19/10)Gamingtips Prediction – Argentinos 0:1 Belgrano
Argentinos Juniors finished 16th in the Argentina Torneo Inicial last season scoring 19 goals in 19 games and conceding 29. Belgrano finished 3rd, just 5 points behind champions Vélez Sarsfield. They scored 22 goals in 19 games and conceded just 13 (5th best defensive record in the division). Belgrano have just started to find their form with wins over Racing (3:0) and last years champions Vélez Sarsfield (3:0). Argentinos Juniors had the second worst defensive record last season and if they are going to continue their bright start to this season, they will need to focus on shutting down Belgrano in the final third. From a betting perspective Belgrano offer excellent value at odds of 19/10 given their excellent defensive record last season and the fact that they haven’t lost in 5 after a shaky start.
