Battle of Tactics: Decoding Belgrano’s Edge in Argentine Primera Division Clash Against Colon
Key Stats
– Colon haven’t defeated Belgrano in a top-flight fixture since their 1-0 victory in 2017.
– Belgrano have not lost a league match all season when leading at halftime, winning all but one of those encounters.
In the Argentine Primera Division, a football match is expected to put an end to the winless streak of Colon, the home team, when they cross paths with Belgrano at the Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao. The encounter is scheduled for Monday, and football fans can look forward to an interesting face-off given the performances of both teams recently.
The Argentine Primera Division Journey So Far
The season hasn’t been kind to Colon, known as Sabalero, who are currently 24th in the league standings. This is following a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the league leaders, River Plate. In contrast, Belgrano’s fortune has seen a recent slump, dropping them to the ninth position after a 2-0 defeat against Barracas Central.
Once Upon a Time, in July
Colon entered the month of July on a five-match unbeaten streak, indicating a positive turn in their luck after a difficult start to the season. However, Nestor Gorosito’s squad fell flat in the two matches played this month. They only managed to register a combined two efforts on target against Racing Club and River Plate, while their defense faltered, conceding more goals in these two games than they had in their previous seven.

One of Colon’s major issues has been their turnovers in recent matches. Their aggressive style of play has often left them exposed during transitions, resulting in numerous fouls and free kicks in dangerous areas.
History and Hope for Colon
Historically, Colon hasn’t managed to defeat Belgrano in a top-flight fixture since their 1-0 victory in 2017. However, they have remained unbeaten in the last two league matches against the Cordoba-based club, including a 1-1 draw in their last encounter in 2019.
While Colon has struggled, there’s still hope. Currently standing at 24 points with four matches to go, they have the opportunity to match or even surpass their points tally from the second half of last season (29).
Belgrano’s Bumpy Ride
Despite having a considerable ball possession in their recent four matches, Belgrano have struggled to capitalise on it. They have been unsuccessful in finding the back of the net in three of their last four games. Their current losing streak is only the second instance this season where they have suffered consecutive league defeats.
Much like Colon, Belgrano prefers a wider play, often transitioning down the left and sending long balls into that area. However, their struggles in away matches have been evident, failing to score in their last five road fixtures.
Strength in Setbacks
Belgrano’s resilience has been highlighted by the fact that they haven’t lost a league match all season when leading at halftime. They have won all but one of those encounters, displaying cohesion and comfort in playing from the back.
Team News and Performances
Both Colon and Belgrano have been grappling with individual performances. For Colon, Joaquin Ibanez is expected to make a return from a muscle injury soon. Meanwhile, their leading scorer, Ramon Abila, has been struggling to find his form, not having scored since the end of May.
Belgrano’s squad boasts Franco Jara and Pablo Vegetti, the latter tied for the league lead in goals. However, Vegetti has not scored in his last two games, and Nahuel Losada, their goalkeeper, has conceded in four successive league fixtures.
Cornering the Prediction: Over 11.5 Corners
Delving into the data reveals an interesting facet of both teams’ strategies. Colon averages 4.3 corners per game, while Belgrano sits slightly lower at 4.0. Given the aggressive style of play exhibited by both teams and their tendency to launch long balls, it’s likely that this encounter will result in numerous corner kicks. Therefore, a prediction of over 11.5 corners seems feasible.
Anticipating the Scoreline: Belgrano 1-0
Given the struggles of both teams to find the back of the net, this match is likely to be a low-scoring affair. However, considering Belgrano’s performance when leading at halftime and their current leading goal scorer, Vegetti’s ability, there’s a strong possibility of Belgrano breaking their scoreless streak and sealing a 1-0 victory.
