In this 3rd week match, on Wednesday Jun 15th, Estudiantes will play host to Sarmiento in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, a perfect day for football. 3rd placed Estudiantes is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Aldosivi. Mario Lopez scored the first goal for Estudiantes on an own goal in the 75th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Aldosivi couldn’t muster any offence and Estudiantes ran away with the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Estudiantes should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Sarmiento recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Argentinos Juniors. Lisandro López struck first for Sarmiento in the 37th minute on a feed from Torres, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Argentinos Juniors couldn’t manage to score, and Sarmiento took the shutout win. Sarmiento is looking for direction having earned 13 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 Estudiantes won the head to head battle with 1 win. Jorge Morel and Manuel Castro are the top scorers for Estudiantes in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
