Argentinos Juniors take on the visitors Independiente in the round 3 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Friday, June 17th at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona (Buenos Aires).
Argentinos Juniors did well in Copa Diego Maradona. "Red bugs" have certain achievements. In 2010, the championship title was taken, which became the 3rd in history. But after that there was even a fall into the 2nd league. And when they returned, the team didn’t show much. For example, in the last draw, the 14th position in the final table was taken. In this regard, the spring tournament was a major breakthrough. There, Gaby Milito's wards, having taken 25 points in the group stage, made it to the playoffs. There it turned out to pass Estudiantes on penalties, and in the course of the fight they played in the minority. With Tigre in the semi-finals, it did not work out, they lost in identical scenario: they fought back with ten men, but lost in the penalty shoot-out. In the championship it turned out to start with a victory over Aldosivi. But the trip to Sarmiento ended with a defeat.

Independiente is trying to just not be relegated to the 2nd division. The Greens were only able to return to the elite division in 2020. The team then won a special tournament, where those who rose through the transitional championship to the Argentine football elite were determined. It is clear that this team has no serious objectives yet. In last year's championship, Junin's representatives were only 24th in the final table (in other words, 3rd from the bottom). Against this background, the Diego Maradona Trophy was a success: 21 points in 14 matches. Good results were also in Copa Sudamericana, but still Ceara turned out to be stronger and took 1st place, and with it a pass to the playoffs. The Liga started with an away draw at San Lorenzo. In the second round the only goal of the top scorer, Silvio Romero, brought victory over Talleres.
Four times in a row in this pair, the team that hosted the opponent cannot win. The opponents won once away, twice they recorded draws. The visitors look good, but the hosts look unconvincing. It is worth waiting for Independiente to take some points.
Prediction for the match: Independiente to win with +0.5 handicap (X2).
