Argentinos Jrs vs Sarmiento — Quick Betting Tips
- Primary Tip: Argentinos Jrs -1 @ 1.93
Tip 1 — Argentinos Jrs -1 @ 1.93
What this means: An Asian handicap of -1 requires Argentinos Juniors to win by two or more goals for a full winning bet. A one-goal win results in a loss; a draw or Sarmiento win also loses the stake.
Form and context
Argentinos Juniors come into this match off a strong 2025 campaign: they reached the Torneo Clausura quarter-finals, finished third in the annual standings and qualified for the 2026 Copa Libertadores. The club also went deep in the Copa Argentina last season. At home they have been particularly solid, with a 12-league-match unbeaten run at their ground (nine wins, three draws).
Pre-season has been steady — comfortable win over Sacachispas and a goalless draw with Velez — but they were surprisingly knocked out of the Copa Argentina by a second-tier Midland side on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Expect a motivated, focused response from the hosts after that shock exit.
Squad changes
Manager Nicolas Diez has added experienced and quality pieces, notably Enzo Perez (from River Plate), Gino Infantino (from Fiorentina) and keeper Brayan Cortes (from Colo Colo). No major departures of key players were reported, so the squad depth and leadership should be improved heading into the new season.
Sarmiento overview
Sarmiento put together a decent Clausura but just missed the playoffs. They finished the year in a lower position in the annual table and start the new season under pressure from the relegation averages. Away form improved late in the year (only one loss in the last five league away matches), and the club strengthened with several signings — including Javier Burrai and Diego Churin — while losing players such as Ivan Morales and Alex Vigo.
Analysis and rationale
Despite Sarmiento’s late-season resilience on the road and some incoming reinforcements, Argentinos Juniors are stronger overall, especially at home. The addition of veteran Enzo Perez adds midfield control and experience, and the hosts should be determined to put the Copa Argentina upset behind them. Given Argentinos’ home run and squad upgrades versus a Sarmiento side likely prioritising survival, the -1 Asian handicap looks the value play: it reflects confidence in a comfortable home win rather than a narrow escape.
Suggested outcome
Primary play: Argentinos Jrs -1 @ 1.93 — targeting a 2+ goal home win. Remember that a one-goal victory would not return a win on this market.
