Racing Club, Recent FormThe 2-0 away defeat to Godoy Cruz will not have sat easily with the Racing Club squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 58% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Godoy Cruz managed 13 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Fernando Gago will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at The Estadio Presidente Perón. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Gago will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at The Estadio Presidente Perón and recording 3 wins in that same period.
Goalscorer Matías Rojas will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Racing Club.
Sarmiento, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Sarmiento produced a stunning 4-1 home win over Rosario Central. In that game they recorded 51 % of the possession, with 28 attempts on goal, 13 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 13 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 7 games in a row.
Luciano Gondou will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Sarmiento.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
El Verde have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with Racing.
In the league, Racing has a good track record when they host Sarmiento, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Racing manager Fernando Gago has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Paolo Guerrero (Knee), Leonel Miranda (Cruciate ligament), Matías Rojas (Overload) and Emiliano Vecchio (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Yair Arismendi (Cruciate ligament) and Josè Mauri (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Israel Damonte will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
