There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Argentina game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Boca Unidos. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
San Martín Formosa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
