Atl. Rafaela vs San Martin S.J. Prediction & Betting Tips (15 September)

Before playing next match, Atl. Rafaela had been on a dreadful run of form on their own patch, drawing three and losing six of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, so a visit from San Martin S.J. is hardly ideal. Speaking of the defending champions, although they have not been the force of old recently, they have still triumphed four times in seven Primera Nacional trips.

12 of the last 18 San Martin S.J. matches at the top table of the Primera Nacional had been of the under 2.5 goals variety, so excitement has been in fairly short supply. Not only that, but, before last match, nine of the previous 15 Atl. Rafaela games at this level had also delivered no more than a couple of successful strikes.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 15 of the previous 18 league games involving San Martin S.J., and both of their meetings with Atl. Rafaela last season finished goalless. Speaking of the hosts, eight of their most recent 12 home matches have followed the same pattern, so anyone expecting a thriller is likely to be disappointed by this contest.
