Talleres Cordoba vs Colon prediction, preview, team news and more | Copa Libertadores 2022

In a thrilling all-Argentine affair, Talleres Cordoba and Colon square off in the first leg of their Copa Libertadores round-of-16 clash at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes on Wednesday.

The visitors head into the game on a run of three consecutive defeats across all competitions and will be desperate to arrest this slump in form.

Talleres enjoyed a solid run in the group stages, picking up 11 points from a possible 18 to finish second in Group H, five points off first-placed Flamengo.

However, they have since struggled for results, managing just one win from their last five games since opening June with a 2-0 victory over Sarmiento.

Talleres head into Wednesday on a run of two consecutive defeats on home turf, losing out to Newell’s Old Boys and Central Cordoba respectively.

Colon, meanwhile, finished at the top of Group G with 10 points from six games to secure their place in the knockout stages of the continental showpiece.

Like the hosts, they have since suffered a slump in form and head into Wednesday’s game on a three-game losing streak across all competitions.

They have also failed to taste victory in any of their last 11 away games, losing six and claiming five draws since the start of March.
