Argentinos Juniors and Platense meet often enough to know each other's game well, especially in the last three meetings where Argentinos Juniors picked up two wins and the other ended in a share of the points. This time, though, Platense return to play at home with a squad situation quite different from the earlier period. The hosts still have not found a win in the league for months, but they have not lost to anyone in their last two matches, drawing 2-2 in the league last time out. Argentinos Juniors, meanwhile, remain clearly the team with more points from their season stats: 11 matches, 6 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses, and a defence that has conceded just 10 goals. The visitors are unbeaten in four of their last five, even after drawing two in a row before returning to win 2-1 last time out. Argentinos Juniors' game is built on possession as high as 61.9% per match over their last 10, and they shoot on target clearly more than Platense (5.22 compared to 3.4). But Platense at home control the tempo reasonably well, with 50.8% possession, and they tend not to let opponents attack them comfortably. If Platense score first, the game becomes a sit-back-and-counter affair where Argentinos Juniors must push hard to find an equaliser. But if the visitors score first, they have enough of the ball to control the game and shut the door on the hosts' comeback.
