In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Temperley, by (1-2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Banfield, by (2-1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 3 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 16 conceded. For the championship, Chacarita Juniors won 11 points out of 30 possible, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 home matches. The team has conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, so it has not presented great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 26 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 17 times and never got the comeback.
El Chacarita Juniors is a club with little tradition in national soccer, since throughout its history it managed to conquer only one title of the Argentine Championship, in the distant year of 1969. In this season, the team is trying to escape from the last positions and avoid a descent, being six points behind the twenty-third classified, the Tigers, and six points ahead of the last classified, Olympus. In the last five games he played at home, all for the Argentine Championship, four scored more than 1.5 goals. In this confrontation, that pattern will remain, since the Chacarita needs to attack to win, thinking of moving away from the last positions, because that way he will be able to score goals, but he will also leave space for his rival to counterattack, depending only then on the effectiveness of the teams to make it a game with more than 1.5 goals.
San Martin San Juan:
The away team is currently in the 20 th position of the league, with 30 points won, after 8 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Godoy Cruz, by (2-0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Vélez Sarsfield, by (0-2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. For the championship, San Martín San Juan won 8 points out of 30 possible, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their away league matches, the most frequent final result at halftime was 0-0 (5 out of 14 matches). The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it was not very strong defensively. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 9 of the last 12 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 26 matches in this tournament, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only won 1 result. In the last 12 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (76′-90 ‘).
The San Martín de San Juan is a club that never won a title of the Argentine championship. At the moment the visiting team is in the twentieth position and already guaranteed the maintenance in the elite of the Argentine soccer, reason why it is not in risk in this party, reason why it will have to play without pressure and with an open football, to mark its goals. In his last seven away games he lost five, tied one and beat another. When analyzing all these games, we see that they all had more than 1.5 goals, showing that San Martin’s style of play as a visitor is offensive and with goals. We believe that in this game in which the San Martin already has the peace of mind to stay in the elite, will probably again play an open game with goals.
PREDICTION: Over 1.5 goals @ 1.40
