Sarmiento are longing to get the points at their own stadium in the upcoming game versus Banfield.

Insights:
  • Sarmiento have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Banfield have the fewest matches over the total-line (10) in Superliga

Not much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Superliga match only four days earlier. That game was an away game at Boca Juniors, so at least Sarmiento are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Sarmiento form and stats

Sarmiento have played 11 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-5 (wins-draws-losses). When Sarmiento hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Central Cordoba SdE, San Lorenzo, Sarmiento, Arsenal de Sarandi, Newell's Old Boys, Platense, Atlético Tucumán and Patronato), they have won 3 of 5 matches! With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sarmiento to get some points in this home game.

Sarmiento faced defeat in their previous match, away at Boca Juniors (0-2). Manuel Vicentini had a busy but productive day in the Boca Juniors match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented. The goalie Manuel Vicentini was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.31 out of ten. Vicentini stopped the opponent with eight saves.

Before that game, the home loss against Central Cordoba SdE with the scoreline 1-3.

Sarmiento are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 11 games. On the other hand, Sarmiento have conceded 14 goals. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
