- Talleres are winless in 3 Liga Profesional 2025 home games with 2 draws and 1 defeat and have only scored 1 goal on home soil.
- Deportivo Riestra are in better form (W2, D1, L2 in their last 5 matches) than Talleres de Cordoba, but they too have found life tough on the road with 0 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats from their first 3 away trips in Liga Profesional 2025.
- Talleres are in the worst of the two teams with only 5 points from their opening 6 Liga Profesional 2025 games, placing them 25th in the table.
Cordoba team looking for the first win under Tevez
Talleres de Cordoba are looking to improve their slow start to the 2025 season on Sunday as they take on a solid Deportivo Riestra side at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. This Talleres de Cordoba vs Deportivo Riestra prediction will be closely linked to whether Tevez’s attacking plan finally clicks.
Carlos Tevez, appointed as head coach in July 2025, has doubled down on a possession game with his Talleres side playing a 4-3-3 and looking to control the tempo of the game to stretch the field with their build up play from wide areas.
The team’s build-up game has been sound but they have lacked the killer instinct in the final third, as evidenced by their recent 0-0 draw with San Martin San Juan at home and their 3-0 defeat away to Atletico Tucuman.
Our Talleres de Cordoba vs Deportivo Riestra prediction is that if Ruben Botta can return to contribute, his creative spark and 2 assists in 4 league games could be key, while Argentine striker Augusto Schott leads the goals chart with just 1 in 6 Liga Profesional 2025 appearances.
Deportivo Riestra are the early season surprise package
Talleres’ visitors Deportivo Riestra have been the surprise of the opening weeks of Liga Profesional 2025, sitting 7th in the standings with 10 points from six games. The Talleres de Cordoba vs Deportivo Riestra preview should highlight how disciplined and pragmatic Gustavo Benitez’s side has become since his appointment in February 2025.
Riestra can set up with five at the back if they need to and their five at the back are often in place when they are not in possession, but they are quick on the break and look for the quick finish in transition.
Jonathan Herrera is Riestra’s main threat, banging in 4 goals in 6 Liga Profesional 2025 matches, including 3 in his last 5 appearances. His clinical finishing has given Riestra some of their goals with Herrera accounting for almost half of the club’s total goals in that period.
Our latest Talleres de Cordoba vs Deportivo Riestra prediction is that Riestra’s last result, a 3-0 home win against Sarmiento, will give them confidence, but away, they’ve drawn 1-1 with Rosario Central and lost 1-0 to Defensa y Justicia in their previous two trips. It’s been a tough start to the 2025 campaign for Riestra on the road and a trip to the home of a Talleres team desperate to get their season up and running could be another difficult challenge.
Cordoba can get the edge in close game
The bookmakers have Talleres de Cordoba as favorites here at 1.92 with Riestra 4.30 and the draw 3.20, which looks a bit off. The current Talleres de Cordoba vs Deportivo Riestra betting tips reflect Talleres’ advantage in the head-to-head record (W1, D2, L0) and their status as hosts.
We feel that Tevez will have his team ready to go in this contest and home advantage will see them edge a close contest against an organised and tenacious Riestra.
The last meeting between these two sides in 2025 finished 0-0 at Deportivo Riestra’s home so it could be a tight and tense game with not too many goals in it - so under 2.5 goals is also an tempting bet in this match.
