Aldosivi wasted another chance of clinching a ticket to the league playoffs in round 13, when they succumbed to a 2-1 away defeat at Estudiantes. Following their third winless game in league action (one draw and two losses), El Tiburon remain on 20 points and still need a win here to advance to the quarter-finals. In addition, the negative streak places them only six points above the relegation zone. At home, Aldosivi registered three victories, one draw and two losses this term.

Sarandi Arsenal took a little breather in their struggle to avoid relegation last time out, when beating Colon 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Cristian Colman and Sebastian Lomonaco. The team put an end to their nine-game winless streak in the Copa Liga Profesional (seven draws and two losses) to accumulate 14 points in group B and hold a two-point gap over the relegation zone in the respective table. El Viaducto are on 19 away matches without a win in league action, with seven draws and 12 defeats since beating Defensa y Justicia 1-0 in April 2021.

Aldosivi needs to win so they don’t depend on what happens with Huracan to secure a playoff spot, and they should be able to get the 3 points against this Arsenal that can’t win an away game in over a year.
