Racing vs Sarmiento

With striker Enzo Copetti netting the winner in the 85th minute, Racing Club grabbed a highly-celebrated 2-1 away success at arch-rivals Independiente in their last Copa Liga Profesional’s game. That victory allowed them to climb into the top of the group A table on 15 points (one above Defensa y Justicia and Union Santa Fe) and also make it eight league games unbeaten (five victories and three draws). At home, Racing are on five domestic games without defeat, winning four and drawing one.

Sarmiento come off a devastating 2-1 away defeat to Barracas Central at Huracan in a six-pointer regarding relegation. That result broke their three-match unbeaten streak of two victories and one draw and also dropped them down to the 26th spot in the points average table, only above the two who would be losing their top flight status at the moment. However, Israel Damonte’s men have produced a decent campaign in the Copa Liga Profesional so far, with 11 points in seven matches.

Racing lead their group, they are in great form and they should be able to beat Sarmiento at home.
