Argentinos Juniors form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Argentinos Juniors so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

Argentinos Juniors had fun at their own home (Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó) last time out, beating Union Santa Fe 5-1. Ávalos, Allister and Metilli scored. As mentioned above, Argentinos Juniors was the only team on the pitch versus Union Santa Fe in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task. Ávalos certainly enjoyed Argentinos's last game versus Union Santa Fe, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-1 victory. Ávalos, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 9.82. Ávalos scored three goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sarmiento wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Copa Libertadores trip to Corinthians.

Goals are few and far between in Argentinos Juniors's away league games. Only {2 goals} from 6 travels.

Head 2 Head

Argentinos Juniors have avoided defeat in the last 5 games (1-4-0) versus Huracán.
