Racing Club take on the visitors Independiente Rivadavia Sarsfield in the round 11 match of Clausura in Argentinian Torneo Betano. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 7th at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón (Avellaneda).
Racing Avellaneda have been crowned champions of Argentina multiple times, including in 2014 and 2019. Last season, after finishing third in the league, they made history by winning the Copa Sudamericana for the first time ever. This year, their clear priority has been the Copa Libertadores, where they’ve already advanced to the semifinals — a late-October clash against Flamengo awaits. However, things haven’t gone as smoothly in the domestic league. In the Apertura, Racing collected 28 points, finishing third in their group and reaching the playoffs, but they stumbled early in the Clausura and are only now beginning to recover with a strong run — seven points from their last three matches. In the national cup, they were narrowly eliminated 0-1 by River Plate, meaning they can now fully focus on the league campaign. Racing’s recent form shows clear signs of resurgence, especially in attack — they’ve scored six goals in their last three league outings. Their home record also remains impressive, with five wins in their previous six matches at El Cilindro.

Independiente Rivadavia can simply play out the season. La Lepra Azul were founded back in 1913, but it took them more than 110 years to finally reach the top flight — earning promotion in 2023 after winning the second division. In their debut Primera season, the newcomers collected 38 points, finishing 11th overall, though they started poorly in the Copa Diego Maradona. This time around, they looked stronger in the first part of the season, taking 27 points in the Apertura to finish sixth in their group and reach the playoffs. The Clausura, however, has been a struggle — only 10 points from 10 matches. On the bright side, their cup campaign brought a few surprises, as they managed to knock out Tigre before suffering a league loss to Lanús and recording a pair of draws afterward. Independiente Rivadavia’s recent defensive issues have been a major concern, conceding in nine straight games. Still, their fighting spirit occasionally shines through, especially when facing stronger opponents.
The sides met twice during the 2024–2025 season, exchanging identical 2-1 home victories. The visitors have little left to play for in terms of league ambitions. With that in mind, Racing should comfortably capitalize at home and secure a win against this modest opposition.
Prediction for the match: Racing Club to win.
