Racing Club form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Racing Club's two home games in the Superliga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo Perón.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Gabriel Arias Arroyo not having conceded a league goal in 298 minutes.

A nice win for Racing last time playing, versus Sportivo Belgrano. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with H. Fértoli, E. Copetti and M. Martínez scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Platense.

This is expected to be a close game, with Racing perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Racing Club as a small favourite), we find seven games. Racing Club has won one of these, drawn five and lost one.

Early season league goal statistics from Racing Club's 2 home games: 3 goals, 2 conceded.

Argentinos Juniors form and stats

Argentinos Juniors are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Superliga, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

187 minutes! That's how long the Argentinos goalkeeper Lucas Abraham Chavez and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

It's the second away game in a row for Argentinos, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Colon (placed 1st) in the Copa Argentina last time out. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Godoy Cruz in the Superliga.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Argentinos in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Argentinos Juniors, two draws and seven defeats.

2 goals so far away for Argentinos Juniors, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
