Sarmiento form and stats

Sarmiento have played 10 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

The Sarmiento goalkeeper Sebastian Tomas Meza is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 283 minutes without conceding a goal in the Superliga.

Sarmiento travelled for their previous game, a trip to Central Cordoba SdE that ended 0-0. Goalkeeper Meza got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.05 out of ten. Meza saved a penalty and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Arsenal de Sarandi.

Sarmiento are traveling soon after this match as the Superliga match at Barracas Central awaits in four days.

Sarmiento are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 10 games.

Tigre form and stats

As the visiting team in Superliga matches, Tigre have produced an overall stat of 3-4-4 so far.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Tigre goalkeeper Gonzalo Marinelli is eager to challenge this, with his 283 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Tigre had fun at their own home (Estadio Eva Perón de Junín) last time out, beating Aldosivi 3-0. Armoa and Retegui (2) scored. Which player has beaten the opponent goalie four games in a row for the away team? The correct answer is Armoa and that is impressive! Attacker Retegui got a player rating of 8.81 in the game. "Man of the match" Retegui scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Gimnasia La Plata with the score of 1-0.

Tigre are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 11 games (in the league). Tigre have conceded 17 goals in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
