Form Guide — Last 5
Sarmiento Junin
Sarmiento’s last five league results read LLWWW, highlighted by a 2‑3 loss to Argentinos JRS at home and a 2‑0 win over Huracan on the recent home fixture. The shift from conceding three goals to a clean‑sheet victory shows an improving defensive solidity that underpins their ability to secure three points now.
Estudiantes L.P.
Estudiantes have posted LWLLW in their last five, with a 3‑0 home thrashing of Defensa Y Justicia contrasted by a 0‑2 away defeat to Deportivo Riestra. The heavy home win did not translate to away form, suggesting they struggle to find the net on the road, which weakens their case for an upset.
