Head-to-head statistics San Martin Corrientes - Instituto de Cordoba
San Martin Corrientes Team Overview
The hosts return to the championship after a lengthy break. The end of last season saw them drop four straight games, with their defense particularly exposed in each outing. The stats back this up: they conceded an average of 83.9 points per game. There’s little reason to believe the team has made significant improvements on the defensive end. In fact, their cohesion seems even shakier following the offseason. San Martin will look to push the tempo. Playing at home, they could find their rhythm from the field, which gives them a realistic shot at breaking the 80-point mark.
