- Competition: Liga Profesional
- Date: Wednesday, 12th June, 2024
- Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00:00 CEST
- Venue: Estadio Diego Armando Maradona (Buenos Aires)
Argentinos Juniors came to this Liga Profesional season after a really good run in Copa de La Liga, where they reached the Semifinals but were eventually eliminated by Velez Sarsfield after a penalty shootout. On the other hand, Juniros did disappoint in Copa Sudamericana, finishing the competition in the group phase. Now, in Liga Profesional, Juniors had mixed results and are 12th with six points after the first four rounds. However, the impression is that this team is capable of more, but they have to start winning points away from home, where they were far from impressive for a long time.
Central Cordoba are one of the worst teams in the league and were pretty close to being relegated last season. In Argentina, the worst team in the previous three seasons is relegated, and Central Cordoba are undoubtedly one of the primary candidates for this season's relegation spot. Unfortunately for them, the season started terribly, as they lost all four games so far. The only reason why they aren't sitting at the last place is because Godoy Cruz had some points deducted by the federation.
Argentinos Juniors vs Central Cordoba pick: Argentinos Juniors to win and cover the -1 AH spread
Argentinos Juniors have had mixed results lately. However, most of their poor results were away from home. At Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, they are playing really well, winning four in a row in all competitions. Additionally, they lost just once (in the regular time) in the last 17 home matches! So, a positive result against out-of-form Central Cordoba is a must.
Central Cordoba lost all four games at the start of Liga Profesional while allowing an incredible 13 goals - 3.25 per game. Yes, they had a tough schedule, but that is simply unacceptable. They have been terrible for a while away from home, winning just once in the last 13 games.
In the last two h2h games, each team won once. However, Argentinos Juniors were far better despite playing away from home in both matches. Now, at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, considering a massive difference in form, we expect a comfortable win for Argentinos Juniors.

One of the team's best midfielders, Alan Rodriguez, recovered from his injury and was on the bench in the last Cup game vs Atletico Rafaela. He will most likely not start, but we could see him for limited minutes. On the other hand, three players who missed the previous games with injuries will remain sidelined: Jose Herrera, Gaston Veron, and Luciano Sanchez.
Argentinos Juniors' total market value is around 33.5 million euros, compared to Central Cordoba's 1.05 million euros.

Central Cordoba team news
The players who missed the previous game(s) will remain sidelined: Matias Godoy, Luis Sanchez, Brian Farioli, Jose Gomez, and Lautaro Montoya. Additionally, attacking winger Thiago Nuss will also miss the game with an injury. Still, he would not be eligible to play in this game since he is on a loan deal from Argentinos Juniors.
After an unsuccessful Copa de La Liga, the club decided to let go of coach Abel Balbo. On 19th April, the club appointed Lucas González Vélez as the new head coach. However, the coach has had a terrible start, losing all four games so far. Before arriving in Central Cordoba, the 43-year-old coach was in charge of CD America and Rionegro Agulia in Colombia.
