It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sarmiento and Independiente.
Sarmiento form and stats
4-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for Sarmiento so far this season.
In their previous game, the manager Damonte led his Sarmiento to a defeat away at Union Santa Fe. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Eva Perón de Junín. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten through three league games. Méndez (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.83/10. Méndez dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that match, a win away at Aldosivi.The Sarmiento fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches.
Independiente form and stats
Independiente have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 1-3-5 (9 played).
Fernández, Ferreyra and Batallini scored in Independiente's previous match, the home game against Aldosivi that ended 3-0. Hooray; their first win in the league after six rounds not winning. Midfield player Fernández was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.42/10. Fernández scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist and hit four key passes.
A 1-3 defeat away at Gimnasia La Plata before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Independiente manager Falcioni as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Velez Sarsfield.
Independiente find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Independiente have conceded 14 goals in their away games.
