On Saturday Sep 3rd, Racing Club plays host to Argentinos Juniors in a meeting of these two closely matched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Racing Club recorded a 1-1 draw against Talleres Córdoba. Alcaraz struck first for Racing Club in the 37th minute on a feed from Facundo Mura, then Diego Valoyes tied it up for Talleres Córdoba in the 51st minute squeezing out at least the one point for Talleres Córdoba. Racing Club is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Argentinos Juniors recorded a 0-2 loss against Platense. Nicolás Morgantini scored the first goal for Platense in the 42nd minute, then Ayrton Enrique Costa added another in the 54th minute In the end, Argentinos Juniors couldn’t muster any offence and Platense ran away with the shutout win. Argentinos Juniors should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo Perón, Racing Club won by a score of 3 to 0. Javier Correa scored the first goal for Racing Club in the 19th minute, then Carlos Alcaraz added another in the 54th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Argentinos Juniors couldn’t manage to score, and Racing Club took the shutout win.
Gabriel Ávalos has been the most effective weapon for Argentinos Juniors lately. The attacker has netted 2 goals in his last five matches. Tomás Chancalay and Matias Nicolas Rojas Romero are the top scorers for Racing Club in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
