Racing vs Independiente predicted score
A tense derby with few clear chances.
Racing need points to stay in the play-off race and will push at home, but they have lost three of five and concede often. Independiente are in the play-off places and can live with a draw; with 3.8 shots on target a game, they will not create much. 1:0 is our main score and 1:1 the alternative. Under 2.5 goals wins with 0:0, 1:0, 0:1, 1:1, 2:0 or 0:2 and loses with 2:1, 1:2 or any score with three goals or more.

Our Racing vs Independiente pick: Under 2.5 goals
Under 2.5 goals: why this pick wins
We think this derby stays tight. Independiente scored only eight goals in ten games and failed to score in five of them, so we do not expect them to add two or three in Avellaneda. Racing have lost three of five and should be careful at home rather than reckless. The line points the same way, with the draw near 30%. Our main score is 1:0 and the alternative 1:1; both win the pick.

What would change our mind A goal in the first 20 minutes: then both sides open up and over 2.5 goals becomes the likelier result.

FAQ
What does Analysis mean?
Our full analysis of the match and the result we expect, without a bet.
How do you choose a pick?
We start from the market, then check a statistical model, named previews and our own scenario test against everything that moves the result: lineups, rest, motivation, style and team news. We publish when at least three of the four agree and the pick wins in the main scorelines. A warning sign, such as a back-up goalie or tired legs, moves us to a safer market or leaves the match as analysis only.
Can a prediction change after publishing?
