Thanks to a penalty netted by Gabriel Avalos in the first half, Argentinos Juniors secured an important 1-0 away success at Tigre after dominating from beginning to end. The team continue producing an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, accumulating nine points as a product of three victories and three defeats so far. However, it gets better at home for Gabriel Milito’s men: Argentinos have been unbeaten in their last four at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, with three victories and one draw.

Sarandi Arsenal fans will have felt disappointed after the team’s 1-0 home defeat to Belgrano in an uneventful game last Monday. After their big win at River Plate, El Viaducto succumbed to their fourth loss across six matches in the 2023 league season, along with one win and one draw. Accumulating only four points in six games, they remain bottom in the point-average table, 13 points behind the first safe spot, occupied by Sarmiento.

Big quality difference between these two. Arsenal’s win at River two weeks ago was only an accident as they are clearly bound to get relegated this season, so I expect an easy home win here.
