Betting on Racing
The Avellaneda team is not having a great start so far. It holds the 16th place, with only eight points from two wins, two draws and two defeats. The last of those defeats took place last Monday, when the team lost by 0-2 against Godoy Cruz, in Mendoza.
As usual, Fernando Gago’s men were the masters of the ball (58% of possession), but they were unable to be convincing in front of the opponents’ goal, since they had 12 attempts at goal (the home team had 13), and only two of them were effective (Godoy Cruz had seven).
For the match against Sarmiento de Junin, Leonardo Sigali, who had to be substituted during the last match, will not be able to play. He will be out for two weeks, and will undoubtedly be an important loss for Racing.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Gabriel Arias; Facundo Mura, Jonathan Galván, Gonzalo Piovi and Gabriel Rojas; Juan Nardoni, Aníbal Moreno and Jonathan Gómez; Nicolás Oroz, Maximiliano Romero and Johan Carbonero.
Betting on Sarmiento
Sarmiento, on the other hand, has the same number of points as its rival, but its season has a different performance. It also drew two matches, lost two others, and won a couple of others, including last week’s 4-1 home win over Rosario Central (see the video summary of the victory above this paragraph!).
The team, coached by Israel Damonte, did everything right in that game. It had 51% ball possession, attempted 28 shots, of which 13 were effective, committed 13 fouls, and had 13 corners. With this result, it is the second highest-scoring team in the Argentine First Division, only behind Huracan and Talleres (11).
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Sebastián Meza; Gonzalo Bettini, Alejandro Donatti, Juan Insaurralde and Gabriel Díaz; Manuel Mónaco, Manuel García, Emiliano Méndez and Sergio Quiroga; Luciano Gondou and Lisandro López.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Racing vs Sarmiento indicates that they have met on eight occasions, of which Racing won four, and Sarmiento only once.
There is a big difference in the level of the teams, but Sarmiento is a well-oiled team, with a well worked process under Damonte’s guidance. Besides, Lisandro López (photo) will be back in the stadium of the club where he is an idol, for it is likely that he will comply with the famous unwritten law that forces a player to score a goal upon their return to the team. For this reason, JefeBet believes that it will be a draw at the Cilindro.
Prediction: 2-2 draw
