On Saturday Feb 18th, in week 4, Racing Club will travel to Avellaneda to battle Arsenal de Sarandi in a clash of these two evenly matched Superliga teams in the ever popular Avellaneda derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Arsenal de Sarandi sits at 23rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Rosario Central. Lautaro Guzmán struck first for Arsenal de Sarandi in the 3rd minute on a feed from Lucas Souto, then in the 30th minute, Victor Malcorra sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Francis Mac Allister Finally they completed the comback victory in the 49th minute on a goal by Veliz to cap off a wild match. Arsenal de Sarandi looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10, while racing Club sits at 21st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-2 draw against Tigre. Maximiliano Romero struck first for Racing Club in the 12th minute, then Leizza tied it up for Tigre in the 15th minute . They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 draw each.
Racing Club is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Rojas Romero and Gabriel Hauche each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Rodrigo Saracho and Kruspzky are the top scorers for Arsenal de Sarandi in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
