Newest-first completed scorelines: Instituto de Córdoba 1-0, 2-2, 4-1, 3-1, 2-1; Deportivo Riestra 1-1, 0-1, 1-1, 0-0, 0-3. These results are completed matches only; they do not independently verify starting lineups, injuries or a tactical plan for the upcoming game. The recorded goals are 12 for and 5 against Instituto de Córdoba, versus 2 for and 6 against Deportivo Riestra.
The quote is 2.05; excluding each side’s highest-scoring game leaves 8 goals for Instituto de Córdoba and 1 for Deportivo Riestra across four games each. I would reassess if the case for this price depended on that omitted result. I cross-check the results with goal balance: Instituto de Córdoba have a net +7, Deportivo Riestra -4 across their separate five games. This tests the record from another direction, without adjusting for opponent strength. The position I can defend is Over 2 goals at 2.05. The careful case needs both a supported record and a price boundary.
The recorded goal counts do not establish match tempo or finishing quality. The competition label alone does not establish either side’s intent.
