Sarmiento
- Sarmiento have been in a slump recently (W1, L4) and are coming off successive defeats.
- Sarmiento are struggling at the moment, with just 1 win and 4 defeats in their last 5 and they have lost back-to-back games coming into this one - 4-0 away to Club Atletico Belgrano in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 and 2-0 at home to Boca Juniors in the Copa Argentina 2026.
- Facundo Sava has been in charge of Sarmiento since 7 August 2025 and they remain a very pragmatic side which wins the duel and tries to play long and direct to the strikers.
Argentinos Juniors
- Argentinos Juniors have the better form coming into this fixture (W4, L1) but have been closely matched against Sarmiento in recent seasons.
- Argentinos Juniors have been in better shape than their hosts of late, winning 4 of their last 5 games and coming into this game on a two-game winning streak.
Head-to-Head
Sarmiento have not won any of their recent head-to-heads, with one draw and one loss, but Argentinos have come out on top in the other meeting, a 1-0 home win in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026.
Key Players
Tomas Molina has scored twice in their last 5 as the Bichitos have managed to score 5 in that time.
Betting Insights
The visitors are the favorite here at 1.96 , with Sarmiento available at 4.55 and the Draw at 2.92 .
Prediction
Sarmiento have been a sturdier side at home, where they have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2 in their last 6 across all competitions, but they have scored just 5 goals in that run while Argentinos have managed 5 in their last 5 overall, so our selection is a tight win for the away side or a low scoring draw - a 1-0 win for the Bichitos is the most likely scenario and fits the favorite's tag and the under-goals market, which are both cagey with Both Teams To Score No at 1.53 and Under 2.5 Goals at 1.4 .
