Arsenal Sarandi hosts Platense in round 6 of the Argentinean Copa de la Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 23rd at Estadio Julio Humberto Grondona (Avellaneda)
Arsenal Sarandi is a fairly strong team, which has been led by the same mentor, Sergio Gabriel Rondina since 2015 (with a short break). This club won both the championship (Clausura-2012) and the country's cup. Having returned to the elite in 2019, Arsenal took a comfortable 12th place in Primera. But now it is an unconditional outsider. Arsenal lost all five games in the current tournament and conceded as many as twelve goals (with only two scored). Yes, the team scored in matches against San Lorenzo and Rosario Central, but that happened when the score was 2-0 in favor of the opponent.

Platense left the elite football league of Argentina back in 1999. And the team quickly dropped to the 3rd division, where it had to be stuck for a long time. But the rise turned out to be quite fast. In 2018, the Maroons won Metropolitana Primera B (third league), and according to the results of the last draw, they got the opportunity to gain another promotion. The newcomers started in the Copa de la Liga Profesional sensationally successfully. In the first round, they repulsed all attacks of Argentinos Juniors, and Pereira scored the winning goal in the 84th minute. However, it was the only victory of the Platense. At the beginning of March, the team managed to tie with Sarmiento Junin, although central defender Lamberti picked up a red card.
Arsenal won three out of five head-to-head matches, but most of them took place 20 years ago (in 2000-2001). Platense gained its only victory in the last game, hammering the opponent at home in March 2019 (3-0). Now it is difficult to expect goals from Arsenal, but a newcomer should not be overestimated either. We think that the teams will not please the fans with an abundance of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
