We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Platense form and stats
Platense have collected 10 points from their Superliga home games so far after 2-4-2. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Platense to get some points in this home game.
Platense lost their last game at Rosario Central (placed 7th) after a 0-4 scoreline. As you see from the result above, Platense suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Before that game, a home win hosting Defensores de Belgrano in the Copa Argentina.
Trench warfare? In this club's last 10 league matches, 8 have produced zero, one or two goals.
The Platense fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Platense have conceded 10 goals.
Racing Club form and stats
There's been little loot from Racing Club's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Superliga. Racing Club only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. Recent form does not give Racing much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Platense will be a tough nut to crack.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Talleres Cordoba with 2-4 on the scoreboard. As you can tell from the result, the match against Talleres Cordoba was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? The attacker Reniero got a match rating of 7.45 in that game. Reniero hit three key passes.
Ahead of that, 1-1 at home hosting Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores.
