Central Cordoba vs Belgrano
CA Central Córdoba let a seemingly certain victory slip away last Tuesday, conceding a controversial goal in the 96th minute and ultimately drawing 3-3 in a thrilling game against Barracas Central as visitors (at Sarandi Arsenal). However, the team remain in the upper part of Group A with 10 points, thanks to three wins, one draw, and just one loss so far this year. Additionally, Central boast a streak of four consecutive victories at Estadio Madre de Ciudades. There are no new injuries to report for coach Omar De Felippe ahead of Saturday’s match.
After the controversial departure of coach Walter Erviti, Belgrano secured their first victory of 2025. They won 2-0 at home against newly promoted Aldosivi, with goals from Nicolas Fernandez and Mariano Troilo, under the guidance of interim coach Norberto Fernandez. El Pirata ended a six-match winless streak in the league (three draws and three losses) and reached five points in as many rounds of the Torneo Apertura. Away from home, Belgrano earned only one point from the last nine available. Coach Ricardo Zielinski will begin his second tenure at Belgrano on Saturday.
Central Cordoba has been nothing but very reliable lately but Belgrano with their new coach Ricardo Zielinsky should be improved. They have a decent squad with very good striker including last season’s top scorer Franco Jara, so I’ll go for the OVER here.
