Colon – Sarmiento

Colon played their worst game in the current league tournament last Friday and they ended up losing 3-0 away at Aldosivi. That defeat put an end to their four-match unbeaten streak of one draw and three straight wins in the league. As a result, the defending champions remain on 13 points, trailing leaders Independiente by two. At home, Eduardo Dominguez’s men won their last two games (over Godoy Cruz and Gimnasia LP).

Following an excellent performance in the second half, Sarmiento celebrated a much-needed 3-0 home success over Atletico Tucuman last Friday. As a result, the team left the bottom spot of the relegation table, climbing into the 21st place. Mario Sciacqua’s men managed nine points in the Liga Profesional so far, registering three victories and four defeats. On a sorry note, Sarmiento are winless on away turf since their return to the top flight, securing four points from 30 on offer (and having lost the last three at Patronato, Racing Club and Defensa y Justicia). Playmaker Gervasio Nunez succumbed to a muscle problem against Atletico Tucuman and will miss out. Striker Rodrigo Salinas and defensive midfielder Federico Bravo remain sidelined.

Colon comes from a really bad performance, but at home against this Sarmiento that got only 4 out of 30 points on 10 away games since last season, they should recover and get the win.
