Sarmiento Junin vs Argentinos JRS
📖 The Preview
Sarmiento Junin at home is the key here. Argentinos come in with decent recent form, sure, but this has low-scoring written all over it - both teams predict no, the over 2.5 goals is a no, and that points to a tight, scrappy affair decided by very little. The head-to-head is pretty even historically, so home advantage likely tips it. Sarmiento nick one and shut up shop, which given how cagey this matchup looks, is entirely believable.
