Sarmiento vs River Plate prediction, odds and how to watch

Argentinos Juniors came from behind to beat Sarmiento 3-2 in a wild Argentine Liga Profesional clash, with a 90th-minute strike from substitute Braian Rivero sealing the points for the visitors.

Barracas Central claimed a remarkable away win at River Plate, scoring once through a first-half left-foot finish and defending with remarkable discipline to hold out a side that generated 15 shots but converted none of them.

River Plate travel to La Plata on Wednesday 29 July with three straight away wins and just one goal conceded on the road in their last five. Gimnasia are improving at home but their defensive record against top-two opposition is the concern. Sophie Hargreaves breaks down the patterns that will decide this one.

Two sides sitting in the lower reaches of the Liga Profesional table meet on Tuesday night, with Banfield holding a meaningful home advantage over a Sarmiento side that has conceded nine goals away from home in their last six matches on the road.

River Plate sit second in the Liga Profesional but their home form is far from convincing. Barracas Central travel to El Monumental unbeaten in their last four away matches and they will fancy their chances.

Sarmiento have built something quietly impressive at home this season, but Argentinos Juniors arrive at Estadio Eva Perón on Sunday as one of the Liga Profesional's most consistent sides. The patterns in the data tell a story worth paying attention to.
