Argentinos Juniors vs Estudiantes

Last Sunday, Argentinos Juniors secured a necessary 2-0 home success over Union Santa Fe with Gabriel Avalos netting a brace in a hard-fought game. Thanks to that success, the team put an end to their three-game winless streak of one draw and two defeats and made it 23 points in the Liga Profesional, five points behind leaders Atletico Tucuman. Furthermore, they also approached the Copa Libertadores places in the aggregate table, trailing Gimnasia LP (who occupy the last qualifying berth) by one. Argentinos claimed five victories out of seven home matches in this competition, drawing one and losing one.

A strike from Leonardo Heredia in the third minute of the stoppage time allowed Estudiantes to take a massive 1-0 home victory over Talleres last Sunday. As a result, the team stopped a three-match winless run of two draws and one defeat to make it 16 points in the Liga Profesional and keep their hopes alive with regard to the Copa Libertadores tickets: El Pincha are now trailing the last qualifying berth by five points. On a sorry note, Estudiantes are on five away matches without a win in domestic action, having grabbed a single point since beating Aldosivi 1-0 in round two.

Argentinos finally won again last weekend and they should be able to continue this positive trend against this Estudiantes that should be tired after playing many games , including the Copa Libertadores elimination, in just a few days.
