Talleres v Instituto: Córdoba clásico with eyes on playoffs | OneFootball

La T and la Gloria will face each other this Thursday from 7:15 p.m. for Matchday 10 of the Torneo Apertura. Both are seeking a win that will bring them closer to the qualification spots.

Talleres and Instituto will face off this Thursday from 7:15 p.m. at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium, for Matchday 10 of the Torneo Apertura. Both teams come into the match with inconsistent results and need to add points to get closer to the top eight in the zone.

The team led by Carlos Tevez has not managed to maintain a positive streak so far this season. Despite having greater possession and territorial dominance in several matches, El Matador has struggled to create danger in the opponent’s box, something that was evident in the goalless draw against San Lorenzo.

Furthermore, defensive fragility in open play has been another issue that Talleres has shown in 2026, a situation that contrasts with the expectations in Barrio Jardín after a 2025 in which the team flirted with relegation. In this context, one of the high points of the squad has been the performance of midfielder Matías Galarza.

For their part, Instituto, managed by Diego Flores, found some stability after a complicated start to the year. However, the outlook is still far from ideal for the team from Alta Córdoba, who are coming off a home defeat against Unión de Santa Fe.

That result reignited some alarms at la Gloria, who are still dealing with the consequences of the inconsistent start under Walter Oldrá. With two wins, two draws, and four losses, Instituto finds itself outside the playoff spots and needs to add points to avoid losing ground in the race for qualification.

The clash promises to be intense and decisive, as both Talleres and Instituto know that a win could change the course of their campaign in the Torneo Apertura.

The probable lineup for Talleres vs. Instituto, for the Torneo Apertura:

Guido Herrera; Augusto Schott, Santiago Fernández, José Luis Palomino, Alexandro Maidana; Matías Galarza, Juan Sforza, Ulises Ortegoza, Giovanni Baroni; Valentín Dávila and Ronaldo Martínez. Coach: Carlos Tevez.

The probable lineup for Instituto vs. Talleres, for the Torneo Apertura:

Manuel Roffo; Fernando Alarcón, Leonel Mosevich, Agustín Bravo; Giuliano Cerato, Juan Méndez or Gustavo Abregú, Gastón Lodico, Diego Sosa; Luca Rafaelli, Franco Jara, and Alex Luna. Coach: Diego Flores.
