talkSPORT betting tips – Best football bets and expert advice for Monday 17 March

The international break means we are looking further afield for the best football bets on Monday night, with action from a top South American league and Spain’s second division providing the entertainment.

Tigre have flown out of the blocks in Argentina’s Liga Professional and will fancy their chances of beating Central Cordoba, while draw specialists Lanus take on Instituto in a mid-table affair.

There’s also a clash between middle-ranking clubs in Spain and the corner count could be worth keeping an eye on as Castellon host Deportivo La Coruna.

We’ve picked out three bets for you to consider with a focus on the action in Argentina.

Monday football betting tips

Special of the day

Over 9.5 corners in Castellon v Deportivo La Coruna @ 5/6

The contest at Estadio SkyFi Castalia, which is half-way between Villarreal and Benicassim, should provide more entertainment as Castellon host the artists formerly known as ‘Super Depor’.

It’s only 21 years since the La Coruna club were fighting for a Champions League final place against Jose Mourinho’s Porto.

But they have fallen on hard times in the past few seasons and, in 2021, only escaped relegation to the fourth tier by a point.

However, things are looking up for the Blue and Whites now and they play a brand of attacking football that could earn a win over Castellon.

But the safer bet here is to back corners, with both these teams among the top three in the Segunda at winning such set pieces. 

Ten of Deportivo’s 15 away league games have seen at least 10 corners awarded while 60% of Castellon’s home contests have also reached double figures.

Long shot of the day

Tigre to win 1-0 v Central Cordoba @ 5/1

Tigre have won five games in a row and their recent success has been built on a stingy defence.

The Liga Professional Group A leaders have conceded only two goals over that five-game run and tend not to score as many goals at home as they do on the road.

Their last two games at Estadio Jose Dellagiovanna have been won 1-0 and the odds on a third home match in succession being decided by a solitary goal look attractive even before the price boost.

Visitors Central Cordoba have failed to score in either of their last two matches and missed two big chances in a 3-0 home defeat to Boca Juniors last time out.
