C.A Colon vs Club Atletico Sarmiento Prediction: The Two Off Color Teams Meet in Santa Fe

In the upcoming fixture of the Argentine Primera Division, Matchday 3, Colon will take on Sarmiento at the Stadium Brigadier General Estanislao López in Santa Fe. The two sides still struggle in the Primera Division and lack consistency even after two matchdays. The upcoming matchup between the two teams will be an interesting one to witness and bet on, as the last time these two teams played in Sarmiento’s home, Colon won (1-3). C.A Colon is struggling at large, creating problems for their coach Marcelo at the start of the 2023 season. Continue reading to find out more about the two teams and their possible lineups.

Going in the matchup, Colon will look to overcome early blows, as it lost to Lanus (1-2) at home and then against Godoy Cruz (1-0). In the last game against Godoy Cruz, Colon managed to sit in tight with 46% possession till the 86th minute of play. However, the defense was disturbed by Silvio Ulariaga in the 86th minute of play. For the game against Sarmiento, Colon will look to perform well at home and prevent itself from repeating the previous encounter’s script. In the last 6 games played against Sarmiento, Colon averages 1.33 goals per game, which is better than Sarmiento. However, Sarmiento leads the head-to-head wins in the last 6 matches played (2-3). Wanchope Ábila is likely to be inducted in the playing lineup, giving Colon an overall stability.

Ignacio Chicco, Eric Meza, Facundo Garcés, Paolo Goltz, Andrew Teuten, Santiago Pierotti, Baldomero Perlaza, Julián Chicco, Joaquín Ibáñez, Pablo Neris, Jorge Benítez or Ramón Ábila.

Going in the matchup, Sarmiento is coming off a high scoring defeat against Barracas Central (3-5). Though Sarmiento lost in the last home fixture, it will look to carry positives ahead and keep on the scoring rate. For Sarmiento, Luciano Gondou and Luciano Gondou scored goals at crunch instances. For the upcoming game, Sarmiento will be hoping for continued performances from these two and also the defenders in position. For the upcoming game, Juan Insaurralde will be benched due to red card suspension. In the last 5 matches, Sarmiento has scored 5 goals at an average of 1 goal per game and conceded 10 goals (averaging 2 goals per game). Hence, the match is likely to be a balanced encounter in Stadium Brigadier General Estanislao López.

Sebastián Meza; Gonzalo Bettini, Santiago Morales, Franco Sbuttoni and Franco Quinteros; Manuel Mónaco, Emiliano Méndez, José Mauri and Sergio Gabutti; Luciano Zanelli and Lisandro López.

Going in the matchup, the two sides will be looking to get three points by registering their first win of the season. However, we could label these two as struggling sides in the Argentine Primera.Given that they have only faced off seven times, with Colón winning twice and Sarmiento winning three times, their history is brief. Last weekend, El Sabalero showed some indicators of improved performance, but in order to win, they will need to continue this trend for a longer period of time, which I don't believe will occur. Hence, I am predicting a draw at 1-1.
