Despite having to contend with several absences, Belgrano secured a valuable point on their visit to Tigre in MD5, drawing 1-1 away thanks to a goal from Matias Suarez in the 65th minute. As a result, Juan Cruz Real’s men made it three league matches unbeaten, winning two and drawing one in that spell to make it eight points in the Liga Profesional. However, it’s not yet enough to fight for one of the continental tickets for next season. Belgrano took seven points from nine on offer at Estadio Julio Cesar Villagra in this competition. Striker Nicolas Fernandez arrived from Defensa y Justicia.

Deportivo Riestra secured their biggest victory in history last time out, when they managed to beat River Plate 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Alan Barrionuevo and Nicolas Benegas. Thanks to that result, El Malevo put an end to their three-match losing streak in Liga Profesional action to make it six points in five rounds in this competition, holding onto a four-point gap over bottom-placed Independiente Rivadavia in the point-average rankings. On a sorry note, Riestra have been winless in their last four on away turf, drawing one and losing three in that time.

Belgrano will have striker Franco Jara back from injury and a great player like Nicolas Fernandez who arrived from Defensa y Justicia to make their attack stronger, and they should be able to beat this Deportivo Riestra who had some big wins at home this season but has been terrible when playing away.
