--------------------------------
Belgrano
Belgrano, nicknamed El Pirata and coached by Juan Cruz Real, is 19th in the Clausura with 1 point from 1 match, drawing 1-1 against Huracán on July 13, 2025, with Juan Barinaga scoring, per web sources. Their form shows 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five competitive matches, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.4 goals conceded. Key players include Franco Jara (1 goal vs. Huracán), Lucas Zelarayan, and goalkeeper Ignacio Chicco. Belgrano’s strengths are their home form at Estadio Julio César Villagra (2 wins in last 4) and Zelarayan’s creativity, but their defensive lapses (1.4 goals conceded) and lack of squad depth are concerns, per web sources. They aim to climb the table and avoid relegation, building on their 3-0 Apertura win over Huracán.
Racing Club
Racing Club, known as La Academia and coached by Gustavo Costas, is 8th with 0 points after a 1-0 loss to Barracas Central on July 13, 2025, per web sources. Their form includes 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded, with a recent 3-1 Copa Argentina win over San Martín de San Juan (Adrián Martínez, Luciano Vietto, Adrián Balboa scoring). Key players include Martínez (2 goals vs. Belgrano in Apertura), Vietto, and goalkeeper Gabriel Arias. Racing’s strengths are their attacking depth and 4-game unbeaten streak against Belgrano, but injuries to Gastón Martirena, Matías Zaracho, and Agustín García Basso (all thigh) limit their options, per web sources. They seek a first Clausura win to boost their Libertadores push.
Head-to-Head
Belgrano and Racing have met 22 times since 2008, with Racing leading 11-5, and 6 draws. Their last meeting on January 31, 2025, in the Apertura ended 4-0 to Racing (Martínez 2, Vietto, Balboa), but Belgrano drew 4-4 on May 12, 2024, after trailing 4-1, per posts on X. Matches average 2.8 goals, with 60% over 2.5 goals and 40% both teams scoring (BTTS) in the last 5. Racing are unbeaten in their last 4 against Belgrano (3 wins, 1 draw), but Belgrano’s home record against Racing (2-2-1 in last 5) keeps it competitive, per web sources.
Predicted Score: Belgrano 1-1 Racing Club
This Matchweek 2 clash on July 20, 2025, at Estadio Julio César Villagra, Córdoba, at 10:00 PM ART (9:00 PM EDT), is crucial for both teams, per web sources. Belgrano’s Jara and Zelarayan face Racing’s Martínez and Vietto, with Belgrano’s home support giving them a slight edge (+190 odds) against Racing (+150), per web sources. Racing’s injury concerns and recent loss could be exploited, but their H2H dominance and attacking form pose a threat. Trends (Belgrano: 40% under 2.5 goals in last 5 home games; Racing: 80% under 2.5 in last 5) and H2H suggest a low-scoring game, per web sources. Referee TBD, with VAR, may issue cards in the 20°C evening if Belgrano’s physicality rises. Belgrano is likely to score through Jara, with Martínez possibly netting for Racing. Belgrano’s home form and Racing’s injuries point to a draw, with both teams cautious after mixed Clausura starts.
