Racing Club will be hoping for a better result after the 0-1 Torneo Apertura losing effort in their last game against Platense.
In that game, Racing Club had 68% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Platense got 16 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Nicolás Orsini (84') was the scorer for Platense.
Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that things are going according to plan in the Racing Club rearguard. Racing Club have kept it tight, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous 6 matches standing at 3. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this match, though.
