It's Superliga action as Instituto Córdoba host Platense. CheckLive has no favourite here, reflecting a genuinely open contest with no clear edge either way – both sides will feel they can take something from this game.
Instituto have had mixed results of late: they lost to Vélez Sarsfield (0-1), beat Lanús (2-1 in the Copa Argentina) and Estudiantes de Río Cuarto (2-0), drew with Newell's Old Boys (1-1), then lost to Estudiantes de La Plata (0-1). Platense's last five include a draw with Unión (2-2), a win over Corinthians (2-0 in the Libertadores), a loss to Independiente Santa Fe (1-2 in the Libertadores), a victory against San Martín de San Juan (4-3 in the Copa Argentina), and a draw with Peñarol (1-1 in the Libertadores).
The head-to-head record is clear: from five previous meetings, Instituto have won only one, drawn one, and lost three. The most recent encounter, back in January, ended in a 2-1 win for Platense. That history gives the visitors a psychological edge, but Instituto will be eager to improve that record on home soil.
