Venue: Estadio Luis Troccoli (25000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 16th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Rampla Juniors, who have the most conceded goals (21) in Primera Division, only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
