Arsenal vs Platense

Sarandi Arsenal continue struggling to earn points this season. Last Monday, the team showed an improved version, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a 2-1 away defeat at Rosario Central. Having lost all five games in the league so far, Sergio Rondina’s men have dropped down from 12th to 18th place in the points average table. At home, El Viaducto were beaten by Banfield 2-0 and by Estudiantes 5-0 this term.

Platense seem to have work to do in adapting to the top flight. The team managed a single point from the last 12 on offer following their 2-0 home defeat to Racing Club in an intense game in round five. That result means Juan Manuel Llop’s men managed only four points across five games in the first division and are occupying the 24th spot in the point-average table. On the road, they beat Argentinos Juniors 1-0 and lost to Godoy Cruz 3-1.

The two teams at the bottom of Group A meet with Arsenal in a terrible moment with 14 goals conceded in 5 rounds including 7 at their own stadium. Platense has been irregular but their last 3 games had at least 2 goals, and I expect an open game here with both teams going for the win they really need.

BET: OVER 2.25 @ 1.90
