Talleres Córdoba vs Independiente prediction, odds and how to watch

Independiente took all three points in La Plata with two late goals that bore no relation to the balance of play, exposing a structural problem in Estudiantes that the scoreline will only partially hide.

Newell's Old Boys secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Talleres Córdoba at home, with a 55th-minute penalty providing the only goal in a match where Talleres controlled possession and territory but could not find a way through.

Platense have won zero of their last ten games. Talleres are fourth in the Liga Profesional. Monday night in Buenos Aires has all the ingredients for a visitors' win, and the numbers back it up.

Two of Argentine football's great institutions meet at the Estadio José Amalfitani on Monday 3 August, with Vélez defending third place in the Liga Profesional standings against an Independiente side that scores freely but defends with worrying generosity.

Newell's Old Boys sit deep in the Liga Profesional danger zone as Talleres Córdoba arrive at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa on Sunday, and the gap between these two clubs in the standings tells a story that matters well beyond three points.

Estudiantes host a porous Independiente side on Sunday with a chance to cement their place at the summit of the Argentine Liga Profesional. The visitors have not kept a single clean sheet on the road this season, and Connor Maguire is not about to pretend that is irrelevant.
