Independiente Rivadavia take on the visitors Argentino de Quilmes in the round of 1/32-finals of Copa Argentina. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 27th.
Independiente Rivadavia were founded back in 1913 but only occasionally made a mark at a somewhat higher level. It's enough to say that they only managed to ascend to the Primera Division in 1968 — and were immediately relegated. From 1973 to 1982, the team made it to the top flight four more times, but only managed to stay there for a second year once. Then the team was forgotten for a long time, and it was only last season that they successfully played in Primera B, and then won the playoffs. Currently, under the guidance of Alfredo Berti, they are playing in the Diego Maradona Trophy. They started there quite briskly, winning consecutively in 2-3 rounds. But then there were only defeats, 7 times in a row, and only against Atletico Tucuman, who were performing poorly, there was a draw 2-2, which allowed them to remain in the table second to last in the group, above the opponent.

Argentino de Quilmes appeared at the very end of the penultimate century. Then, in 1899, local enthusiasts from Kilmess, mostly students, decided to create an alternative to the existing club of the same name, in which, however, settled Britons played. Hence the name, which emphasized the focus on local footballers. However, over the following years, Los Mate only once during the professional era, back in 1939, made it to the top division. And they entered history, though with the prefix anti: 4 points in 34 matches remains the worst result in Primera, or even in all elite-level championships. However, they never rose to such a level again — they started the last decade in the 4th division, and returned from the 3rd in 2019. Now, they are finally managing to advance to the second league in the group of leaders. However, the season in Argentina is just beginning to gain momentum, so we can only note a good start.
This will be the first direct match between these clubs in their entire history — previously, despite decades of existence, they avoided matches against each other. The nominal hosts should confirm that they are indeed stronger. They should be able to secure victory in this match.
Prediction for the match: Independiente Rivadavia to win.
