Platense vs Instituto
Platense suffered a tough blow last Monday when they conceded a stoppage-time goal and lost 1-0 to archrivals Argentinos Juniors away from home in an intense derby. The defeat leaves them with four points from three matches in the Torneo Apertura, ending a three-game unbeaten run in league action (two wins and one draw). However, El Calamar remain strong at home, going eight matches without defeat at their stadium, with five wins and three draws in that span. The squad are fully fit to face Instituto on Sunday.
After their unfair defeat against River Plate, Instituto returned to winning ways last Sunday with a well-deserved 2-0 home victory over Velez Sarsfield, thanks to goals from Gaston Lodico and Damian Batallini. La Gloria now registered two wins and one loss in the Torneo Apertura, accumulating six points in three rounds and occupying a comfortable spot within the playoff positions. However, they have struggled on the road, earning only two points from the last 24 available away from home.
Even though Platense is usually an underish team, Instituto has scored 5 goals in the first 3 rounds and looked really good in attack so this extremely short line is worth a bet on the OVER.
