Instituto vs Central Córdoba SdE: match statistics
Despite poor form in their last five matches, Instituto displays clearly superior offensive statistics at home compared to Central Córdoba's away performances. The hosts average 1 goal per home game with 4.5 shots on target and an xG of 1.46, while the visitors in away matches average 0 goals, a mere 2.5 shots on target, and an xG of just 0.88.
