Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Both of these sides have not started this season well. Barracas are sat rock bottom in the league and Independiente are only seven places above them in 21st.

Neither side have been able to produce a go to man this season as each side’s top scorer has two goals to their name. The redeeming factor for Independiente is that whilst winger Sebastián Villa has scored twice, he has also produced two assists on top. He might see himself bagging a goal and winning the match for his team, despite having scored only twice this season.

Barracas Central Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Rafael Ferrario; Pedro Velurtas, Nicolás Demartini, Nicolás Capraro, Gonzalo Goñi; Rodrigo Insúa, Iván Tapia, Dardo Miloc; Javier Ruiz, Alexis Domínguez, Lucas Brochero

Barracas have done well since making step up into Argentina’s topflight in 2021, but this season has gone woefully for them. They currently sit in 28th out of the 28 teams in the league. Two wins, nine losses and five draws means they’ve accumulated just 11 points. The next worst team has 12 points so anything other than another loss and they can escape the mantra of bottom of the league.

Los Camioneros have three player that have provided two goal contributions in Insúa, Domínguez and Herrera. They will need to improve on getting them more goals as they have struggled with finding the back of the net. Scoring only twice in their last five games and only seven in total is a clear reason as to why the are last in the standings.

Now into their first year in the topflight of Argentinian football, Independiente Rivadavia have not had the worst season for a new club in the league but there are rooms for improvement. 16 games in and they are sat in 21st, with five wins, seven losses and four draws. That has left them with 19 points but as high as 13th place Boca Juniors are in reach as they are just three points clear.

La Lepra have also struggled with goals as they have scored 10. Contributing toward four of them is Sebastián Villa as he’s scored twice and registered two assists to his teammates. He has been their best player so if Independiente need an outlet for goals, then he can become that man in this match.
