On Jun 16th, Argentinos Juniors will play host to Independiente 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 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Argentinos Juniors is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Sarmiento. Lisandro López scored the first goal for Sarmiento in the 37th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Argentinos Juniors was frustrated by Sarmiento’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sarmiento ended the match with the shutout victory. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Argentinos Juniors should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Independiente recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Talleres Córdoba. Lucas Romero scored the first goal for Independiente in the 26th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Talleres Córdoba couldn’t muster any offence and Independiente ran away with the shutout win. Independiente is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 draw each.
Leandro Fernández and Juan Cazares are the top scorers for Independiente in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Argentinos Juniors is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Kevin Mac Allister and Miguel Torren each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
