Argentinos Jrs – Colon

Argentinos Juniors are now on two consecutive defeats in league action as they were beaten by Atletico Tucuman 4-3 away in a thrilling game last Sunday. As a result, the team remain on 21 points in the Liga Profesional after 16 rounds, which keeps them out of the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table (for now, considering that new berths will likely open up depending on who wins the title). At home, El Bicho have been irregular lately, collecting only four points across their last four games (one win, one draw and two losses).

Meanwhile, Colon managed a remarkable 1-0 home success over second-placed Talleres last Sunday, when Alexis Castro found the winner in the first half. Therefore, the defending champions made it three league games unbeaten (taking nine points from nine on offer) to accumulate 26 points and climb into sixth place in the Liga Profesional. El Sabalero grabbed 11 of those points on the road following three victories, two stalemates and three defeats.

Argentinos is not the solid team they were not long ago, and they should have trouble against the defending champions Colon.
