Racing vs Argentinos Jrs
Racing Club are deflating their performance lately. Last Saturday, Fernando Gago’s men registered a 1-1 away stalemate at Talleres in a hard-fought game. Therefore, after winning only one of their last six league games (along with four draws and one defeat), the team are on 25 points in the Liga Profesional, trailing leaders Atletico Tucuman by seven, However, it’s still enough to occupy one of the Copa Libertadores places in the 2022 aggregate table. At home, Racing are now on four matches without a win, having drawn three and lost one in that spell.
Argentinos Juniors’ three-match unbeaten streak of two victories and one draw in league action came to an end last weekend, when the team played one of their worst games in this competition and ended up losing 2-0 at home to arch-rivals Platense. El Bicho remain on 27 points in the Liga Profesional, which is still a remarkable campaign for them, and are now two points behind the last Copa Libertadores spot in the aggregate table, occupied by Gimnasia LP.
This could be almost like a last chance for both teams to fight for the championship and only a win is a good result considering they are getting away from the top places, so I would expect an open game with both going for the win.
