Sarmiento vs Aldosivi
Sarmiento were unable to complete their home match against Rosario Central two weeks ago, as heavy rain forced the game to be suspended at halftime. As a result, they remain on six points in the Torneo Clausura (with one game in hand) and sit just three points above the relegation zone on the aggregate table, having won only one of their last nine league matches, along with five draws and three defeats. In fact, they have gone eight home games without a victory, drawing six and losing two. All starters are available for Saturday.
Aldosivi are going through a very deep crisis in the league. Two weeks ago, the team put on a poor display and lost 2-0 at home to Boca Juniors. El Tiburón have collected just three points in seven Clausura rounds, with three draws and four defeats, leaving them level with Talleres in the relegation spots on the aggregate table. As a result, head coach Mariano Charlier left the club. Away from home, they have lost all three matches. Guillermo Farré will make his debut as Aldosivi’s new coach on Saturday.
Aldosivi are the biggest relegation candidates: they are winless after 7 rounds and have scored only 1 goal. This is a very important game for Sarmiento who are also fighting to avoid relegation and I expect them to take the 3 points on this must win game.
