Thanks to a strike from Emanuel Iniguez in the second half, Aldosivi took a key 1-0 away success at Estudiantes last weekend. That victory means El Tiburon secured seven points in four rounds, sitting in the second spot in group 5, and a win here would lead them to the Fase Campeonato.
Argentinos Juniors will need to win here after suffering a heavy slump against San Lorenzo last time out when losing 2-0 away. The team have been irregular in this competition, having taken four points in as many matches. That’s why they are sitting in the third spot in group 5, trailing second-placed Aldosivi by three points. El Bicho’s defeat at San Lorenzo put an end to their two-game winning run on the road in domestic action (at Lanus and Estudiantes). Argentinos Juniors coach Diego Dabove will miss Damian Batallini from now on as the winger left the club to join Mexican side Atletico San Luis.
Even though Aldosivi is nothing special, a draw will be a very good result for them here and a win would take them into the next stage. Argentinos is almost in a must-win situation and they lost their best player Damian Batallini, the scorer of their only goal in 4 games, so I think they are in trouble here.
