Platense vs Argentinos Jrs
Platense come to this derby of a massive 1-0 away success at Belgrano last weekend, with Ronaldo Martinez netting the winner in the third minute of stoppage time. El Calamar made it five league matches without defeat, winning two and drawing three in that spell to accumulate 24 points and just five points behind the last Copa Sudamericana berth in the aggregate table. On a sorry note, the team secured a single victory across their last six home matches, along with two stalemates and three losses.
Argentinos Juniors are clearly improving under interim coach Cristian Zermatten. Last Sunday, the team showed enjoyable football to beat Talleres 3-0 at home. El Bicho made it 22 points in the Liga Profesional and remain occupying one of the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table after losing only one of their last five in this competition, winning two and drawing two. In fact, Argentinos took just two points across the last nine away matches.
This is one of the league derbies as they have a big rivalry since many years ago and since this is one of the games that both want to win, a goal should open things up and I’ll go for the OVER because two goals are definitely possible.
