Racing Club and Independiente meet in the Liga Profesional de Fútbol, with the hosts sitting 25th on 11 points from 12 matches, while the visitors are 14th with 18 points. Both sides come into this game off defeats in their most recent league outing: Racing Club lost 0-2 away, while Independiente drew 0-0 at home. This is therefore a match where both teams want to get back to picking up points. Racing Club have won just 3 of 12 matches this season, scoring 13 and conceding 19, but at home they still create chances consistently, averaging 4.78 shots on target per game across their last 10 matches in all competitions, and they enjoy 57.9% possession. Independiente's season numbers look better: 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 12. However, they average only 3.8 shots on target per game over the same period, so their away games tend to be about sitting back and waiting to counter rather than pushing forward. The pattern is likely to be Racing Club dominating possession and pushing forward in search of chances, while Independiente drop deep and wait for counter-attacking opportunities. If the hosts score first, the game will open up and the visitors will have to choose whether to attack or wait. The match is likely to finish with a narrow margin, but the hosts have the better chance of taking the three points.
