Independiente was a clear contender for a place in the top eight at the start of the season – the selection of players obliged Julio Vaccari's team to set such ambitious goals. The Red Devils started with three wins in a row and immediately found themselves among the leaders of the championship, but stumbled in the fourth round, losing 0:2 to River Plate. Having beaten Velez 3-0 in the last match of the championship, Independiente returned to second place in the table and is only two points behind the leader Rosario Central.

5.60Tip and bets
Independiente looks very strong at the start of the season, having scored four wins in five rounds and scored 10 goals in them – this is the best record in the championship. It is obvious that today the Red Devils will also strive only for victory and will certainly put serious pressure on the Platense goal in the first half. It is unlikely that the Squid have a chance to stay dry - the opponent is in great shape and has a significant advantage in class, and Platense regularly misses from Independiente.
We believe that the owners will not stay dry. The forecast is Independiente's individual total of more than one goal. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.35
Betting on the outcome
Independiente has made only one serious mistake so far, but the defeat came against River Plate at the Monumental, where it is not easy for any team to get points. Today, the Red Devils will clearly set maximum goals for themselves – there is a real opportunity to top the table and bypass Rosario Central. The guests are quite capable of achieving their goal – Platense is not bad out of its field and unyielding, but not without weaknesses, and in the Kalmars class they are significantly inferior.
The bet is an Asian handicap (0) on the Independiente. This bet is offered for 1.69
Betting on corners
Platense will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Independiente is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.97
