Argentinos Juniors form and stats

The story so far in the Superliga for Argentinos Juniors at their home stadium (Estadio Diego Armando Maradona) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Argentinos faced defeat in their previous match, away at Aldosivi (2-3). A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Aldosivi) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at César Florentín for missing a penalty kick versus Aldosivi in the 72nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. The attacker Gabriel Ávalos won the honour of being "man of the match" for Argentinos Juniors with the rating of 8.82/10. Ávalos scored two goals and hit two key passes.

Ahead of that match, Argentinos won a home game hosting Gimnasia La Plata (3-0).

Argentinos Juniors are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. Argentinos Juniors are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 11 matches.

Sarmiento's previous game was their home loss versus Talleres Cordoba (1-2). Midfielder Federico Bravo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.4. Bravo served one assist, hit one key pass and had 27 successful passes (of 33 total).

Prior to that match, the Sarmiento manager M. Funes faced defeat when travelling to San Lorenzo and losing 0-1.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 15 goals have been conceded by Sarmiento in these games.
