Monday evening brings a tense Primera División showdown at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López as Platense play host to Talleres. Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Platense v Talleres Cordoba, which has been placed with Bet365.
V. Dávila - 1+ Shots on Target
Player Shots On Target
Valentin Dávila is a central figure in Talleres Cordoba’s attack, often positioned to test goalkeepers with shots. Although Talleres have faced challenges recently, Dávila’s role as a forward means he frequently finds himself in shooting positions. His record of hitting at least one shot on target in recent matches, combined with Platense’s tendency to concede goals, suggests he could register at least one shot on target in this game, making this a logical inclusion in the bet builder.
Platense v Talleres Cordoba - Over 9.0 Corners
Total Corners
Both Platense and Talleres Cordoba tend to generate a high volume of corners, reflecting their attacking styles and willingness to press wide. Platense’s matches typically see over ten corners, while Talleres also contribute to a high corner count. Given the open nature of their recent games and the expected territorial battle, it’s reasonable to anticipate more than nine corners in this fixture. This market complements the player props by capturing the overall attacking rhythm and set-piece opportunities likely to arise.
G. Mainero - Anytime Assist
Player Assists
Guido Mainero plays a key creative role for Platense, tasked with unlocking defences and supplying goal-scoring chances. Despite Platense’s recent struggles and Mainero’s lack of assists in recent outings, his midfield position and creative responsibilities position him well to provide an assist. Talleres Cordoba’s defensive vulnerabilities could offer Mainero opportunities to deliver decisive passes. Including this leg adds a creative player prop dimension to the bet builder, aligning with the expected attacking dynamics of the match.
Both teams enter this fixture desperate to turn around recent form after enduring difficult runs in the league. Platense slipped to a 2-1 defeat against Instituto last time out, having held 53 per cent possession but managing just three shots on target, with Hector Bobadilla netting their solitary goal. Meanwhile, Talleres arrive on the back of three straight losses, including a 3-1 reversal at home against Vélez Sarsfield despite controlling 63 per cent of the ball and taking six shots on goal. With both clubs hungry to arrest their slide and kickstart their campaigns, fine lines will dictate the outcome in Florida.
Platense v Talleres Cordoba Bet Builder Tip
Valentín Dávila 1+ Shots On Target
Valentín Dávila brings an exceptionally sharp directness to the Talleres frontline whenever he operates in the attacking third. The 19-year-old striker stands at 185 cm and presents a distinct aerial and ground threat for opposition defenders to handle. Across 562 minutes of action spread across 18 appearances in the Apertura, Dávila has already notched 4 goals, proving to be one of the most efficient finishers in the squad despite starting only 4 matches. When Dávila enters the pitch, his primary focus is getting attempts towards goal, generating 17 total shots during his limited minutes.
What makes Dávila such a compelling candidate to test the goalkeeper is his remarkable accuracy when letting fly. He has hit the target with 11 of his 17 attempts, producing a 65 per cent shot-on-target rate. This exceptional accuracy means that whenever Dávila gets an opening, the opposing custodian is routinely forced into action. His underlying quality shines through in his expected metrics; he has accumulated an expected goals (xG) figure of 3.16, while his expected goals on target (xGOT) reaches 3.85. This difference of +0.69 demonstrates that his placement genuinely improves the threat of his efforts once the ball leaves his boot.
Dávila’s versatility across set-piece and open-play phases enhances his chances of working the goalkeeper. He has registered 9 headed attempts, 6 left-footed strikes, and 3 right-footed shots, showing an ability to test defences from various angles. Furthermore, 9 of his attempts have come from corner situations, 5 from fast breaks, and 4 during regular play. With 14 shots taken from outside the penalty area alongside 2 inside the box, Dávila does not hesitate to shoot from distance if given time to turn.
His physical engagement in the forward line supports his high shot output. Dávila has registered 240 total touches, including 31 touches inside the opposition box, while winning 43 duels overall and 20 aerial battles. He has also drawn 11 fouls and recorded 3 possession wins in the final third, constantly keeping defenders under pressure. In previous outings, he proved his clinical touch by scoring against Independiente in a 10-minute cameo, while also featuring against Vélez Sarsfield, Newell’s Old Boys, Atlético Tucumán, Belgrano, and Boca Juniors. Facing a Platense side that concedes 1.6 goals and 4.0 shots on target per match over their last 10 league games, Dávila will find openings to work the keeper. Backing Dávila to register at least one shot on target stands out as the cleanest angle in this fixture.

Platense vs Talleres Cordoba Over 9.0 Corners
Corner volume in matches involving Platense and Talleres leans towards consistent set-piece opportunities, creating a strong case for pushing past the 9.0 corner line. Talleres maintain an active attacking footprint out wide, averaging 4.6 corners awarded per match across their last 10 league games while conceding 5.2 corners per contest to their opponents. This brings the average overall corner count in Talleres fixtures to 9.8 per game, illustrating how frequently their open-play patterns result in deliveries behind opposition goal lines.
Platense bring a similar set-piece profile to the table, taking an average of 4.5 corners per game over their last 10 league outings while allowing 3.3 corners against. When combining both teams’ attacking tendencies, the match dynamics lean towards sustained territorial pressure. Talleres average 10.6 shot attempts per match and controlled 63 per cent possession in their recent outing against Vélez Sarsfield, whereas Platense recorded 53 per cent possession against Instituto while averaging 9.3 total attempts per match.
Both sides frequently push play into wide areas to generate crosses and shots, which regularly yields deflections, blocks, and tipped saves out for corners. Given that Talleres regularly feature in high-corner encounters and Platense consistently force set-piece situations at home, expecting more than nine total corners fits naturally into the tactical flow of this Primera División clash.
Guido Mainero Anytime Assist
Guido Mainero represents the primary creative engine on the right flank for Platense, tasked with fashioning goalscoring opportunities for his teammates. Operating as a right winger across 1,248 minutes in 18 appearances this season, the 31-year-old is central to his team’s ball distribution into the penalty box. Although he is searching for his first official league assist of the campaign, Mainero has accumulated an expected assists (xA) total of 1.07, demonstrating that his delivery routinely places teammates in promising positions.
Mainero has created 14 chances and 1 big chance overall, utilizing a sharp right foot to deliver 16 successful crosses and 24 accurate long balls at a 41.4 per cent completion rate. His involvement in the attacking build-up is extensive, racking up 680 total touches and 290 successful passes. Furthermore, Mainero’s high work rate allows him to create chances directly off turnovers; he has recorded 71 ball recoveries and won possession 9 times in the final third.
His potential to carve open opposition defences was clearly on display against Santa Fe, where he provided 2 assists in a 2-1 victory. Talleres have suffered three consecutive defeats and conceded 0.9 goals per match over their previous 10 league fixtures, showing clear defensive vulnerabilities. Mainero’s continuous crossing output and ability to win fouls in dangerous wide areas position him as the cleaner pick to set up a goal on Monday.
