Talleres Cordoba host Independiente in the Liga Profesional Argentina. Independiente have picked up more wins across their last twenty matches than the home side, while Talleres have had a much bumpier run of late.
There's history here too - Talleres have actually won more of the recent head-to-head meetings than their current form would suggest. That contrast between the past and the present is where we start.

Independiente's record over a similar sample reads 10 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, with 25 scored and 24 conceded. They've had their own bad days - a 0-3 home defeat to Gimnasia and a 4-0 Copa Argentina loss at Atletico Tucuman - but have also beaten Newells, Lanus and Central Cordoba along the way.
Independiente's underlying numbers look a touch healthier than Talleres' right now, even if neither side has been especially consistent.

Recent head-to-head form favours Talleres more than their current league form does.

Without knowing exactly which phase or grouping each table reflects, it's hard to say definitively where either side stands right now, though the recent form data does suggest Talleres have cooled off.

Key men: Ávalos leads the way, Riquelme a card risk
Independiente's Gonzalo Ávalos has been their standout performer this season, top scorer with 11 goals and also their leading assist provider with 5, in 23 appearances.
Sebastian Montiel has chipped in 4 assists as well. At the other end, Talleres' Rodrigo Riquelme has picked up a red card and two yellows in just 6 matches, a disciplinary record worth keeping an eye on.

With no odds attached to this fixture, we're passing rather than forcing an angle that isn't really there.
Independiente's overall form edges it on paper, but Talleres' recent head-to-head record and the murky standings picture complicate things enough that we wouldn't want to lean either way blind.
