Talleres Cordoba vs Newells Old Boys

Talleres Cordoba welcomes Newells Old Boys at Estadio Boutique de Barrio Jardín for the 3rd round of the Argentinian Copa de la Liga Profesional.

The hosts had a good start in Copa de la Liga Profesional, winning 1-0 over Patronato at home. However, in the second round, they suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat over Gimnasia. Alexander Medina's team had a very bad performance and failed to get a positive result. Today they have a chance to return to winning ways over Newells Old Boys.

Franco Fragapane and Enzo Hernan Diaz will miss tonight's game as they got red-carded in the previous round. Talleres Cordoba will face Atletico de Rafaela next Wednesday for the domestic cup.

Newells Old Boys, on the other hand, didn't have the same start as the hosts, suffering a 1-0 defeat against Velez Sarsfield in the first round, and 0-1 against Boca Juniors in the second round. The most significant problem of Frank Kudelka's side is that they failed to score in both these games.

The club is counting a lot on the coach's Frank Kudelka experience to improve. Mariano Bittolo will be the only missing for the visitors here, while Pablo Javier Perez will be available again after his suspension. In the following round they will face Independiente.

Talleres Cordoba is usually a strong opponent to face when playing at their home, especially for Newells Old Boys who come from two defeats. I think that the offered odds are quite underpriced for the visitors who are capable of getting all three points. Away win DNB is my call for this one.
