Sarmiento Preview
The team from Junín drew in its presentation in the Professional League against none other than Instituto, a direct rival for permanence. In Córdoba, the team left a good impression in the first half, when it had the best chances to score, mostly through aerial play.
This week, it was announced that Sarmiento closed the incorporations of goalkeeper José Devecchi and striker Lucas Melano. However, Israel Damonte, the team’s coach, will probably prefer to wait and not include either of them against Barracas Central.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Sebastián Meza; Gonzalo Bettini, Juan Manuel Insaurralde, Franco Sbuttoni and Franco Quinteros; Manuel Mónaco, Emiliano Méndez, José Mauri and Sergio Quiroga Gabutti; Luciano Zanelli and Lisandro López.
Barracas Central Preview
Barracas Central lost 1-0 at home to Godoy Cruz de Mendoza in its debut in the Professional League. The performance of Rodolfo De Paoli’s team was worrying, as they failed to register a single shot at goal, while they were hit five times in a clear way.
Bruno Mastronicola will surely miss the match against Sarmiento, who was sent off directly after committing a foul outside the area on the striker who was running away to score the 0-2.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Andrés Desábato; Mauro Peinipil, Nicolás Capraro, Fernando Prado and Juan Ignacio Díaz; Facundo Mater, Carlos Arce, Iván Tapia and Brian Alejandro Calderara; Bruno Sepúlveda and Alexis Domínguez.
JefeBet Prediction
Sarmiento had an excellent season throughout 2022, and the draw in Córdoba is taken almost as a victory. Because they have a better collective performance and play with their people in their favor, at JefeBet we believe they will impose their authority and take the three points.
Prediction: Sarmiento wins by 2-0.
