Command Analysis

Barracas Central

Current form
Barracas Central was a complete failure last season, despite having a very modest selection of players and not being able to set too ambitious goals for themselves. In 27 rounds, the long-haulers won only four times and scored a total of 23 points, most of which were collected in the very last rounds. However, this did not help much – Barracas Central came in last at the finish, one point behind Banfield.

Kruger is injured.

Racing Club

Current form
Racing definitely set the highest goals for itself in the championship last season – the selection of players allowed them to count on fighting for the title. In the end, Gustavo Costas' team competed with Talleres and Velez, but made several serious mistakes at the finish and finished third, five points behind Velez, with Talleres two points ahead. However, overall the season was more than successful – the victory in the South American Cup completely brightened up all the failures of the academicians in the championship.

1.75Tip and bets
Racing approaches the start of the season as one of the main contenders for the championship title and will certainly strive to start with a victory. In general, the task for the academics is not the most difficult, Bararcas Central is significantly inferior in class and looked very weak last season. With experience and class, Racing will certainly achieve a confident victory and immediately find itself among the leaders of the championship, while the truckers have not yet gained form and are hardly capable of putting up a fight.

Bet on total
Racing is undoubtedly the favorite and will play only to win. It is obvious that the pressure on the hosts' goal will be enormous from the first minutes and in such a situation Barracas Central will hardly be able to play reliably. However, at home the long-haulers also allow themselves to play openly, there were no serious problems with the implementation last season, the guests are quite capable of responding with one goal.
