Independiente vs Sarmiento

Last time out, Independiente won 2-1 at Newell’s Old Boys thanks to goals from Sebastian Palacios and Fabricio Bustos, which represented their third consecutive success in league action. That means El Rojo are now on nine points in group B, and they could become leaders together with Velez if they win here. At home, Julio Falcioni’s men lost to Lanus and beat Gimnasia LP this season.

Sarmiento couldn’t hold onto their 1-0 lead and ended up drawing 1-1 at Platense last Wednesday in a thrilling game with several goal-scoring chances for both sides. Therefore, Mario Sciacqua’s men are now on six league matches without a win (five draws in regular time and a single loss). They secured three points in four games this season to stay bottom in the points average table.

Independiente will lead Group B if they win and a game at home against the recently promoted Sarmiento is a perfect chance for them.
