Chacarita play with tempo and tempo
Juan Manuel Azconzábal’s side are a lively team that plays with plenty of tempo and presses high up the field, while their midfield is fluid enough to transition quickly between different formations.
The Chacarita Juniors vs Temperley preview notes that Juan Cruz González is a top-level midfielder who provides the tempo from the center of the park while connecting the play between the defense and the front line. If Chacarita are to win, the chances are that he will have a big influence on the game.
Temperley are a more conservative outfit with structured build-up and disciplined lines to frustrate opponents.
Rubén Forestello, who took over in round 8 of the campaign, has brought defensive stability and resilience to the squad. Experienced forward Javier Toledo provides leadership and a point of reference up top, although he is yet to score this season.
Unders bet looks the best chance
Temperley are clear outsiders at 4.00 for this game with the bookmakers, but Chacarita are not much more attractive at 2.15.
A win for the hosts would boost Chacarita’s promotion push while Temperley, who have drawn four of their last six, could potentially climb into a play-off position with three points.
For this encounter, the Chacarita Juniors vs Temperley betting tips suggest that it could be a chess match between two evenly-matched teams, but we like the look of the Under 2.5 Goals bet at 1.33 given that neither team score too many goals or concede too many.
