Arsenal de Sarandí

LLWLLL 📉

Arsenal de Sarandí won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 2-0 Superliga losing effort in their last game against Newell´s Old Boys.

Independiente

LDLWDW ⚖

Independiente will go into the meeting after a 2-1 Superliga win as they beat Tigre in their previous fixture.

In that game, Independiente managed 47% possession and 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. For Independiente, the goalscorers were Nicolás Vallejo (5') and Martín Cauteruccio (95'). Tigre had 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Mateo Retegui (31') was the scorer for Tigre.

The numbers tell their own story, and Independiente have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 7 goals in all. At the back, Independiente can certainly do much better. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this game, however.

Taking a look at their past results, Independiente:

• haven't been defeated by Arsenal de Sarandí in away games against them for the last 4 league games. Travelling fans have really enjoyed these clashes.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 7 league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Arsenal de Sarandí

The Arsenal de Sarandí manager Darío Espínola will be thankful to have no fitness worries to speak of before this match with a completely healthy squad to pick from.

It looks as if Los del Viaducto look set to employ a 4-4-2 system, utilising Alejandro Medina, Lucas Souto, Néstor Breitenbruch, Joaquín Pombo, Adrian Sporle, Santiago Toloza, Felipe Peña Biafore, Gonzalo Muscia, Lautaro Guzmán, Flabian Londoño and Facundo Pons.

📋 Team News: Independiente

Independiente boss Ricardo Zielinski has not got a full squad to pick from. Agustín Mulet (Thigh Problems), Rodrigo Márquez (Ruptured cruciate ligament) and Tomás Pozzo (Ruptured cruciate ligament) can’t be considered.

We reckon that El Diablo Rojo appear most likely to play in a 4-4-2 formation using Rodrigo Rey, M. Baltasar Barcia, Sergio Barreto, C. Javier Báez, Ayrton Costa, Braian Martínez, Sergio Ortiz, Martín Sarrafiore, N. Javier Vallejo, Martin Cauteruccio and M. Giménez Rojas.
