Platense – Patronato

Platense have been displaced from the playoff spots in group A following their 1-0 away defeat at Union Santa Fe in a hard-fought game last Friday. Claudio Sponton’s men made it two consecutive losses in the Copa Liga Profesional and remain on seven points after five matches, which places them in the 25th place of the relegation table. El Calamar lost their last home game to Banfield, which stopped a four-match winning streak at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente Lopez.

Patronato are the worst team in the league at the moment following their 1-0 home defeat to direct relegation contenders Sarmiento last Saturday (with Gabriel Graciani as interim boss after Ivan Delfino’s departure). The team earned a single point in five matches in this competition and also made it nine league games without a win (drawing three and losing six), which keeps them occupying one of the drop spots in the point-average table (eight points behind Godoy Cruz who are safe). Furthermore, El Patron are on 14 winless games on the road, having drawn five and lost nine since they beat Aldosivi 2-0 in July.

Platense is going through a decent season and I can’t understand this high odds at home against the worst team in the league.
