League round two of the Superliga campaign and the sides have adjusted from insights gained in the first fixture. Here's the ultimate Sarmiento - Argentinos Juniors preview:
- Sarmiento have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Argentinos Juniors have won significantly less corners away then at home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
