Central Cordoba vs Aldosivi CA Central Cordoba rescued an important point on their visit to Gimnasia LP last time out, when they drew 2-2 thanks to a brace from Milton Gimenez. However, they remain occupying the bottom spot in the league table on 13 points and the 24th place in the relegation table following their seven-match winless streak of two stalemates and five defeats in the Liga Profesional. Furthermore, El Ferroviario lost their last three games at Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades (to River Plate, Huracan and Velez Sarsfield). Aldosivi continue improving under recently-appointed boss Martin Palermo. Last time out,…

Union vs Rosario Central Last Monday, Union Santa Fe wasted a big chance of climbing into the last Copa Sudamericana berth in the 2021 aggregate table following their 1-0 away defeat at Independiente in an uneventful game. Having won only one of four games under boss Gustavo Munua (along with one draw and two losses), El Tatengue remain producing an irregular campaign, with 22 points in this tournament. Rosario Central managed a much-needed victory last weekend, when they beat Racing Club 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Gino Infantino and Marco Ruben. The team are on four matches unbeaten…

Arsenal vs Sarmiento Sarandi Arsenal remain as the worst team of the season following their 2-1 away defeat at Aldosivi last Monday, when they conceded with just one minute to go. Israel Damonte’s men are on five league matches without a win, having drawn two and lost three since beating Lanus in round 13. As a result, they remain on 13 points, sharing the bottom spot of the league table with CA Central Cordoba, and have dropped down to the 22nd place of the relegation table. At home, Arsenal won only one of their last seven league games, drawing four…

Racing - Defensa y Justicia Racing Club new coach Fernando Gago didn’t have the best debut: his team showed an uneventful performance and ended up losing 2-1 in a six-pointer regarding the continental tickets. La Academia continue producing a poor campaign, accumulating 23 points in this competition after three winless games (one draw and two defeats). The side continue occupying one of the Copa Sudamericana spots, but they should improve soon to keep it. To make matters worse, Racing couldn’t win any of their last five matches at home, drawing three and losing two. Defensa y Justicia are going through…

Aldosivi vs Arsenal Aldosivi are starting to show slight improvements under recently-appointed coach Martin Palermo: following a 0-0 away draw at Newell’s Old Boys, the team collected four points from the last six on offer in the league. However, their campaign is very poor in general terms: having lost the previous eight games, El Tiburon collected only 17 points in this tournament, which places them bottom in the relegation table. Aldosivi won their last home match over Independiento to break a four-game losing run at Estadio Jose Maria Minella. Sarandi Arsenal (the worst team of the season) were beaten by…

Godoy Cruz - Central Cordoba Following coach Diego Flores’ decision to rest seven of his starters, Godoy Cruz registered a scoreless away draw at Sarandi Arsenal in an entertaining game last Monday. However, El Tomba remain unbeaten under the recently appointed boss, having won three and drawn three in the league. Therefore, they made it 22 points in the Liga Profesional to occupy 23rd spot in the relegation table, one point above Friday’s opponents. As hosts, Godoy Cruz lost only one of their last six games, registering two victories and three draws in that time. CA Central Cordoba are getting…

Independiente - Gimnasia Independiente had to settle for a heartbreaking 3-3 away draw at Velez Sarsfield last time out even though they were leading 3-1 until the 88th minute. Following that disappointing result, El Rojo claimed a single victory in their last five league matches (drawing two and losing two) to make it 23 points in the Liga Profesional’s table, seven behind leaders. They also remain out of the last Copa Libertadores spots in the aggregate table. Gimnasia LP saw their three-game unbeaten streak of two victories and one draw coming to an end last time out, when the team…

Patronato vs Racing Club Patronato remain winless in their last eight league matches (having drawn four and lost four) following their scoreless stalemate away at Platense in an uneventful game last Saturday. As a result of this terrible run, the team are now sitting in the penultimate spot of the relegation table. Ivan Delfino’s men continue producing an irregular campaign in the Liga Profesional, having accumulated 15 points so far. Nine of those points were grabbed at Estadio Presbitero Grella, where Patronato registered two successes, three draws and one defeat. Racing Club are now out of the continental spots in…

Union - Platense Thanks to a brace from winger Gaston Gonzalez, Union Santa Fe made it two consecutive victories under interim boss Marcelo Mosset by beating Aldosivi 2-1 away last Friday. Therefore, the team continue hovering in a mid-table spot in the Liga Profesional, accumulating 18 points in 14 rounds. Union will oversee the debut of new coach Gustavo Munua on Friday after Juan Manuel Azconzabal’s departure. Following their 0-0 home draw against Patronato last Saturday (with Claudio Sponton as interim coach), Platense extended their winless run to five league games (four stalemates and one defeat). As a result, El…
