In a mid week match on Tue Feb 15th, in week 2, Independiente will host Arsenal de Sarandi at Estadio Libertadores De América in a meeting of these two mismatched Superliga teams in the anticipated Avellaneda derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 29 degrees, which may be tiring for the players. Independiente has not played yet this season, while in their last match, Arsenal de Sarandi recorded a 1-1 draw against Rosario Central. Sebastián Lomónaco struck first for Arsenal de Sarandi in the 10th minute, then Marco Ruben tied it up for Rosario Central in the 33rd minute earning Rosario Central a comeback draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 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 Independiente won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Bruno Sepúlveda and Sebastián Lomónaco are the top scorers for Arsenal de Sarandi in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Both Carlos Nahuel Benavidez Protesoni and Silvio Romero have been the hottest scorers for Independiente in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each.
