There are more doubts over Resistencia, who average 0.86 goals and have been held scoreless in 36% of their matches.

Caution is warranted, as 80% of Resistencia’s last five matches went Over 2.5 goals, although the league average is 2.63 goals per match.

Sportivo hold a clear advantage over the season as a whole, averaging 1.43 goals per match compared with Resistencia’s 0.86, and their average xG is 1.63 versus 1.19 for their opponents. Recent form points to the balance tipping after the break: the hosts averaged 1.2 goals in the second half across their last five matches, conceding just 0.2, and remained unbeaten over the full 90 minutes during that period. Resistencia have lost three of their last five matches, while Sportivo have won three, so despite a genuine chance of a closely contested first half, the stronger signal is for a home win at full-time. The risk to this pick is the visitors’ effective defending after the break—they kept a clean sheet in 77% of matches—so the case for X/1 over 1/1 is not strong.
