Platense form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Platense so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Palermo, the Platense manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Martinez got a match rating of 8.32 in that game, top player of the team. Martinez scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
A 0-4 defeat away at Rosario Central before that.Highlight this: 8 of the latest 10 league games involving this club have seen only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).
