C.A Colon - Started of Poorly in 2023 (LLDLL)

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.

Expected Opening Lineup for C.A Colon

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.

Club Atletico Sarmiento - Played Well in a High Scoring Thriller (LDDLL)

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).

Expert Betting Tips

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.
