Their defensive record is notably leaky, conceding 2.00 goals per game overall and 1.40 at home. This combination of offensive output and defensive exposure sets the stage for an open contest.
Cordoba, meanwhile, has been inconsistent on the road. Their last 10 games yield a 40% win rate away from home, with an average of 1.60 goals scored and 2.40 conceded per away match. The head-to-head record heavily favors the visitors, with Cordoba winning four of the last five meetings.

Recent results highlight this pattern: the last meeting ended 1-2, and previous encounters saw scores like 2-3 and 2-2.

This mathematical projection, paired with the historical head-to-head data and recent form, makes the Over 2.5 Goals market the most compelling option.
