Deportivo Temperley are showing inconsistent form, having collected 7 points out of a possible 15 in their last five league matches. The team secured two away wins against Deportivo Morón (0-1) and a home victory over Talleres Remedios (1-0), but also suffered three defeats. The home thrashing by Estudiantes (1-3) is particularly alarming, indicating defensive issues when playing on their own turf. Across these five matches, Los Gasolineros have scored only 3 goals, revealing systemic problems in attack. However, the team did manage to keep clean sheets in two of their last five outings.
Nueva Chicago are displaying more consistent results, having gathered 8 points from the last 15 available. The team is unbeaten in their last three matches, securing two home wins with an identical 1-0 scoreline against Agropecuario and Gimnasia Jujuy, and also playing out a 0-0 draw away to Defensores Unidos. However, their away form remains a weakness – prior to their last away draw, they lost 2-0 to Estudiantes on September 14th. Los Funcionarios are demonstrating solid defensive play, conceding just 2 goals in their last five matches and keeping three clean sheets.
Statistical analysis reveals polar opposite trends in the teams' performances. Temperley are averaging 0.6 goals per game in their last five outings, demonstrating minimal attacking efficiency. Meanwhile, they are conceding an average of 0.8 goals per match. Nueva Chicago show similarly modest scoring numbers (0.6 goals per game), but possess superior defensive metrics – conceding just 0.4 goals on average per match. The last three head-to-head meetings between these sides have been low-scoring affairs: two matches ended 0-0 and 0-1, with the other being a 1-0 victory. This points to a consistent trend of low-scoring games in their direct encounters.
Tactically, the match is likely to develop into a midfield battle with a limited number of clear-cut chances. Temperley, struggling with their finishing, will rely on set-pieces and counter-attacks. However, their home vulnerability, exposed in the match against Estudiantes, could be exploited by the visitors. Nueva Chicago adheres to a more pragmatic approach, emphasizing defensive stability and a patient, waiting game in attack. Their three-center-back system has proven effective in recent matches. The key battle will be between the hosts' weak attack and the visitors' organized defense.
Considering the statistical trends and tactical setups, the most probable outcome appears to be a draw. Temperley's inability to produce consistent attacking football at home meets the high defensive discipline of Nueva Chicago, who have kept clean sheets in three of their last five matches. Historical meetings between these teams are also characterized by low goal counts. A match with a limited number of goals is expected, where both teams will likely prioritize avoiding defeat over taking risks for a win. Recommended bet: Draw with the most probable final score being 0-0.
