Tight tussle expected between lower division rivals
Although this game is not one of the ‘must-win’ matches in Argentina’s lower divisions, every point counts and there will be plenty of significance to the final result, as well as bragging rights, between these two clubs. For those interested in predictions, our Club Atletico Colegiales vs CA Atlanta preview indicates a closely matched contest.
The bookies have CA Atlanta as slight favourites, although this is close to a toss-up so there is very little between the sides on paper. At a shade of odds-on, the draw looks appealing, although our Club Atletico Colegiales vs CA Atlanta prediction suggests it will take a real positive performance from the away side to get three points away from home.
CA Atlanta have their best chances late in games
With 35% of their total goals scored in the final 15 minutes of matches this season, Atlanta have the late surge to beat most teams that sit back and defend the home box. However, their away form this season (W2, D6, L1) is hardly inspiring, even if they do rarely get nothing from these fixtures. The Club Atletico Colegiales vs CA Atlanta odds reflect the difficulty in predicting which team will take the initiative.
In fact, their defensive discipline has limited the damage done to them in their matches, but they have only scored 0.6 goals and conceded 0.6 on average in those five matches. It adds up to a recipe for close contests where the winner is not always obvious, but with a very low average goals per game figure, it should be obvious that under 2.5 goals will ensue.
There are no player names available for this match, but in the absence of such, the most valuable players on the pitch will be those that manage the game well and keep their cool when under pressure. This could be a real chess match between two different philosophies and it will only take one lapse or a well-worked set piece to win it.
Atlanta have the edge in a cagey clash
Colegiales are a very defensive side, with a compact 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 that sits deep and tries to stifle the opposition’s creativity and then pounce when they get possession. Their most effective players will be the experienced defenders who can stay solid and a poacher up top that can pounce on any mistake.
Atlanta will have to work hard to break down the home side and with Colegiales unlikely to do much more than cling on, this looks likely to be a low-scoring match. The Club Atletico Colegiales vs CA Atlanta betting tips, therefore, suggest looking towards the under 2.5 goals market. Additionally, this Club Atletico Colegiales vs CA Atlanta prediction is supported by both teams' recent defensive statistics.
