Argentinos Jrs (Argentina) – Racing Club (Uruguay)

Argentinos Juniors managed their first three points in the Copa Sudamericana last Tuesday, securing a 3-2 away success at Paraguay’s Nacional Asuncion following an enjoyable performance. El Bicho also took a valuable scoreless draw away at Velez Sarsfield last Friday to remain as group A leaders in the Copa Liga Profesional (alongside Barracas Central), accumulating 25 points in 13 matches. In fact, Pablo Guede’s men are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions (winning five and drawing two). At home, they haven’t lost any of the last seven, with six victories and one draw).

Meanwhile, Racing (Uruguay) secured a valuable point following a 1-1 home draw against SC Corinthians from Brazil at Estadio Centenario, with Agustin Alaniz netting the equaliser in the 85th minute. El Cervecero drew 1-1 as hosts against Miramar Misiones last Saturday, a result that left them in the seventh spot of the Uruguayan Torneo Apertura table with eight points in seven matches. Racing won only one of their last five competitive matches, drawing two and losing two, but they have been strong on away turf lately, with four victories, one draw and one loss across the last six.

Argentinos are one of the best teams in Argentina right now, leaders of one of the league groups and looking more solid every week. They rested a few regulars last weekend in the scoreless draw at Velez, and they shouldn’t have any problems to beat a below average uruguayan side.
