5 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Argentinos Juniors have to build on here at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in the Superliga.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Argentinos, as their goalkeeper Alexis Martin Arias has completely shut out the opponents for 211 minutes in the Superliga.
Argentinos Juniors enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Vélez Sarsfield's place. The match ended 1-0 with Heredia scoring. Manager Milito felt very clever after Heredia scored the winning goal against Vélez Sarsfield, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 68th minute. The goalie Arias was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.62 out of ten. Arias topped it up with a clean sheet.
A win at home before that, as expected. The team were big favourites against Liverpool and won 2-1.
