Sarmiento vs Argentinos Juniors: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Junín finished only 23rd in last year's Primera with 35 points. There was no improvement this season either. In the Apertura, they managed only nineteen points in sixteen matches—no chance for the playoffs. In the cup, they also recently lost 0-2 to Boca Juniors.
The Buenos Aires team ended the previous season in the top three with 57 points. They went to the Copa Libertadores but were eliminated in qualifying—after exchanging 1-0 wins with Barcelona Guayaquil, they lost to the Ecuadorians on penalties. Similarly, they were knocked out by modest Ferro Carril Midland in the first round of the cup. However, in the Apertura, they showed the third-best result in their zone, with 29 points in sixteen matches. But after reaching the semi-finals, they allowed Belgrano to equalize in the 90+4th minute—and once again lost in the penalty shootout.
Atlético scored only 0.81 goals per match away, conceding 1.25. The team under Díez, scoring 1.11 goals per game, concedes a third less—only 0.74.
Previous Meetings: Sarmiento vs Argentinos Juniors
The last four matches ended in draws or Sarmiento wins. But in January, the capital club finally won.
The expectation here is a win for the visitors in a rather dull game. But let's disagree with the latter—it makes sense to consider betting on "over 1.5 total goals" (odds – 1.60).
