In their last match, Barracas Central recorded a 0-1 loss against Newell’s Old Boys. Zahir Facundo Mansilla scored the first goal for Newell’s Old Boys in the 33rd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Barracas Central was frustrated by Newell’s Old Boys’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Newell’s Old Boys ended the match with the shutout victory. Barracas Central is looking for direction having 2 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Independiente recorded a 2-2 draw against Instituto.

Independiente looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
