Patronato – Argentinos Jrs

After a poor performance in 2021, Patronato are occupying the 25th spot of the point-average table. They have been winless in their last four league games (two draws and two losses). On a positive note, they lost only one of the last five at home (winning two and drawing two). The board recruited 11 new players, including Jonathan Herrera (from Independiente), Lucas Barrios (Defensa y Justicia), Carlos Quintana (Argentinos Juniors), Raul Lozano (Huracan) and Nicolas Castro (Sarandi Arsenal).

Argentinos Juniors failed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana after an irregular campaign, finishing in 12th in the aggregate table with two wins, two draws and two losses in the last six games. The squad are mainly the same as last season, with two secondary new faces. Ten players left the club, but only Elias Gomez (sold to River Plate) and Matias Romero (to Banfield) represent relevant losses for coach Gabriel Milito. El Bicho also are on five away league games without a win, drawing one and losing four.

Argentinos lost some important players while Patronato added a couple of interesting and experienced strikers in Herrera and Barrios so I think they should win here.
