Week 25 features a match on Tue Oct 11th, where Sarmiento hosts Boca Juniors in a clash of the Superliga. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 27 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Sarmiento recorded a 2-2 draw against Tigre. Javier Toledo scored the first goal for Sarmiento in the 16th minute, then Blas Armoa Núñez tied it up for Tigre in the 40th minute . Sarmiento is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 2nd placed Boca Juniors, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Vélez Sarsfield. Javier Morales struck first for Boca Juniors in the 79th minute on a feed from Varela, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Vélez Sarsfield couldn’t manage to score, and Boca Juniors took the shutout win. Boca Juniors is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Boca Juniors won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Darío Benedetto has been the most prolific scorer on Boca Juniors in the last five matches with 2 goals. Nicolás Femia and Yair Arismendi are the top scorers for Sarmiento in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
