Sarmiento form and stats

When playing at home in the Superliga, Sarmiento have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Sarmiento.

The home team returns to Estadio Eva Perón de Junín after drawing with Barracas Central (placed 19th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Toledo was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Barracas Central after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Before that, Sarmiento drew at home versus Tigre.

The Sarmiento fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. Sarmiento have conceded 12 in these home matches.
