Sarmiento vs Platense
Sarmiento are yet to earn points in the Liga Profesional following another poor performance last time out. The team ended up losing 2-0 at Patronato in a six-pointer with regard to the relegation table: in fact, they remain bottom in the point-average rankings and also in the 2021 aggregate table with only 12 points. Mario Sciacqua’s men have been winless in their last five league matches (earning only two points in that stretch).
Platense succumbed to a heartbreaking defeat last Friday, when they were beaten by Aldosivi 1-0 at home in a six-pointer with regard to the relegation rankings (they dropped down to the 23rd spot in that table). The newly-promoted side managed a single point in two rounds since coach Leonardo Madelon’s arrival for the second semester of the year.
Sarmiento has been very poor in the first two rounds, but this odds for them at home are way too much against another poor team like Platense, so I’m going with the hosts to win this game.
