Sarmiento Junin vs Dep. Riestra Prediction: Will Riestra return to victories?

The sixth round of the Torneo Betano 2025 between Sarmiento Junin and Deportivo Riestra is an interesting clash. Sarmiento and Deportivo Riestra want to get points as they are both fighting for those, bidding each other to exploit home grounds and rebound after the previous meeting respectively.

Sarmiento Junin (LDLDL)

Sarmiento Junin arrives at this match after a 5-0 loss to Atlético Tucumán. The team defended themselves badly, conceding four in the first half alone, even conceding an own goal from Díaz G. They did have a fair share with the ball (54%), however lapses on the defensive side of things turned out to be costly. Sarmiento attempted 18 shots and only hit the target eight times while being unable to capitalize on their offensive chances. Their inefficiency in front of goal was further underlined by Orihuela R. having a missed penalty. Going into this match, Sarmiento will have to draw tighter at their defensive lines and polish up their finishing if they want to bounce back from their torrid defeat.

Dep. Riestra (DDWDW)

In their last game, Deportivo Riestra drew 0-0 with Rosario Central. They almost couldn’t be outpossessed (33% to 67%) and shut down defensively, only allowing five shots on target. With nine attempts, they managed to score, but not with the precision they needed in order to make them count. Bravo A. also proved to be a crucial intervention in their discipline at the back. Riestra still needs to improve their attack, but the Argentine outfit have shown the resilience that could act as a tough test for Sarmiento.
