Sarmiento Junin vs Independ. Rivadavia
📖 The Preview
Independiente Rivadavia head into this one as the clear favourites and their recent form tells you why. They've won four of their last six and look a solid, organised outfit right now, while Sarmiento have been all over the place, losing six of their last ten. The head-to-head actually favours the home side historically, so this isn't a foregone conclusion, but the way Sarmiento have been defending lately, you can see Rivadavia nicking a goal and keeping it tight for a 0-1 away win.
