Match between CA Sarmiento and Independiente Rivadavia - Preview

This Liga Profesional clash pits a struggling home side against one of the competition's in-form teams, with Sarmiento desperate for points and Independiente Rivadavia looking to extend their momentum deep into enemy territory.

Sarmiento have endured a torrid run of results heading into this fixture, losing 4 of their last 5 matches across all competitions. Their Liga Profesional campaign has been undermined by heavy defeats - none more sobering than the 4-0 hammering away at Belgrano Córdoba in May - while a 3-2 loss at Banfield in late July confirmed that the defensive vulnerabilities remain unresolved. The only respite in this difficult period was a 1-0 home win against Tigre in late April.

Independiente Rivadavia, by contrast, arrive off the back of a remarkable stretch that included Copa Libertadores victories over Deportivo La Guaira (4-2) and Bolívar (3-1), both away from home. A 2-1 Liga Profesional win over Huracán on 31 July extended their momentum into the domestic campaign. The Mendoza club have shown they can perform on the road - a quality that will be tested at the Estadio Eva Perón.

CA Sarmiento - Recent Form

CA Sarmiento are going through their worst run of the season, winning just 1 of their last 5 matches while conceding 12 goals against only 5 scored.

The nadir came in May when Belgrano Córdoba inflicted a 4-0 defeat away from home, exposing deep defensive problems. The sole highlight was a 1-0 home win against Tigre in late April, but that bright moment was buried by three successive defeats: 0-2 against Boca Juniors in the Copa Argentina, 2-3 at home to Argentinos Juniors, and 2-3 away at Banfield.

With fewer than 1 goal per game scored across those five outings, Sarmiento's attacking output is as concerning as their defensive record. The home fixture against Independiente Rivadavia represents a must-win opportunity to halt this alarming slide.

Independiente Rivadavia - Recent Form

Independiente Rivadavia have been in outstanding form, winning 4 of their last 5 matches across all competitions while scoring 13 goals and conceding just 4.

The club's Copa Libertadores 2026 campaign showcased their attacking quality at the highest level. A 4-2 victory away at Deportivo La Guaira - with Arce netting a hat-trick - and a 3-1 triumph over Bolívar on the road highlighted a fearless approach to away fixtures. Back in domestic competition, Rivadavia beat Atlético Tigre 1-0 in the Copa Argentina before recording a 2-1 win over Huracán in the Liga Profesional on 31 July.

The only blemish was a goalless draw away at Atlético Tucumán on 27 July, though earning a point in a tough away environment is far from a failure. The Mendoza outfit travel to Junín with confidence, momentum, and a strong recent record against this opponent.
