Arsenal Sarandi vs CA Platense - 25/06/2023
2306
You need to scan the Argentina Liga Pro standings all the way to the bottom to find Arsenal de Sarandi. El Arse are bottom of the Liga Pro standings ahead of round No 22 and the arrival of Sunday’s opponent Club Atletico Platense.
Arsenal took 17 points from their opening 20 matches and are just one point away from safety. A win over Platense could see Arsenal move off the bottom of the standings. However, a win won’t come easy.
Platense are midtable with 26 points from their opening 20 matches. The team is blowing hot and cold currently, with three wins from their last three games. Platense are in a cycle of win, lose, win, lose.
The Calamares are coming off a 1-0 win over Tigre thanks to a Nicolas Castro goal. Manager Martin Palermo is in his first season at the club. He is aiming for more points and a solid midtable finish for the team.
Arsenal, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to Talleres in round No 21. It was their 13th defeat of the campaign. Arsenal took just six points from their last six matches in the Liga Pro. El Arse struggled to score goals, tallying a mere three across the last six games.
Four of Arsenal’s last six matches saw them fail to score a single goal. Arsenal scored the third-fewest goals in Liga Pro after 20 fixtures.
Last season’s meeting between the clubs finished 1-1. Two of the last five encounters between them finished level at full-time. Meanwhile, Platense recorded two wins to Arsenal’s one.
Both clubs have experienced low-scoring matches in recent weeks. Five of Arsenal’s last six games ended with under 2.5 goals. Platense saw under 2.5 goals in their last three matches in Liga Pro.
Arsenal appointed manager Federico Vilar in May to try and salvage the season. He will have a relatively healthy squad for the game. No new injuries were reported for the match.
Palermo has just one injury for Platense ahead of the fixture. Right-back Nicolas Morgantini could miss the game after suffering a nasal bone fracture.
Platense captain Castro scored in the team’s recent win over Tigre. Castro has four goals in 19 league appearances for Platense this season. The midfielder joined the club in the offseason from Patronato.
Club Atletico Platense should pick up another victory in a close match at Arsenal. The fixture should end 2-0 in favour of Platense, as they continue their midtable form.
