With a string of intriguing affairs from across the footballing globe this weekend, it will be South America’s elite that steals most of the headlines this weekend.
For those of you looking to place a Saturday flutter, we have created your ultimate South American betting double.
20:00 Racing Club vs Rosario
Putting in another gritty display last weekend as they snatched a 0-0 stalemate away at promotion hopefuls Estudiantes, Racing Club have certainly turned a real corner after opening the 2023 campaign in the midst of an extended blip. Continuing to climb up the Primera division standings and breaking into the top-half, Saturday’s hosts will be confident of claiming a crucial victory here.
Along with opening July thanks to a stunning 4-0 romp away at Colon, Fernando Gago’s men are unbeaten in each of their last seven straight domestic appearances.
Likewise, suffering just a single defeat from any of their last 11 matchups across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to May 14th – the Avellaneda-based outfit have continued to shine with their recent performances at the back.
Including another 4-0 victory against Nublense last month while on Copa Libertadores duties, it is worth noting that the former Aldosivi boss has seen his squad ship just a single goal in over 360 minutes of action.
On the flip side, managing to make a much-welcomed return to winning ways earlier in the week as they claimed a 2-0 victory at home against Central Cordoba, the Rabble are seeking some stability on either side of June’s international break.
Mustering just a single win from any of their previous five appearances, Miguel Angel Russo’s side have certainly shown some extended issues away from the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito this season.
Last seen on their travels slumping to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of San Lorenzo on July 1st, Saturday’s guests have remarkably notched just a single away victory over the past nine months.
Betting Tip: Racing Club win & Under 4.5 goals @ 7/5 with Pribet
21:00 Londrina vs Vila Nova
While Vila Nova might have been disappointed after settling for a bottom-half Serie B finish last season, the Tigers have come roaring back in some style this time around. Only continuing to gain a string of plaudits from across Brazil since opening the 2023 campaign, Saturday’s hosts are tipped as a standout promotion contender this year.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures holding a one-point buffer over the chasing pack, Claudinei Oliveira’s men should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high.
Along with signing off June with a rugged 1-0 victory at home against Tombense, the Reds have lost just one of their previous eight appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to May 28th.
Likewise, shipping just a sole strike in any of their last four Serie B showdowns, Vila Nova should be relishing their trip to the Estadio do Cafe this weekend.
While Saturday’s guests might find themselves leading the chase at the top of the second-tier standings, Londrina are firmly battling it out at the opposite ends.
Last seen putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat away at Guarani, the Sharks have remarkably picked up just a single point from any of their previous nine straight Serie B appearances.
With that nightmare run of form stemming all the way back to May 19th, Londrina have also gained a reputation for their glaring struggles on home soil.
It should be highlighted, Eduardo Souza’s relegation scrappers have lost each of their last four Serie B showdowns at the Estadio do Cafe by an aggregate score of 9-4.
