Two points separate Sarmiento and Newell’s Old Boys ahead of their meeting on Sunday in the Liga Profesional in Argentina. Hosts Sarmiento are 12th, two places behind Newell’s Old Boys. A win and a leap over their visitors will be Sarmiento’s target for this game. They come into it with a five – game unbeaten run but there’s just two wins in there. Sarmiento’s best stats coming into this game have been in defence. They have four straight clean sheets ahead of this match. In their last five matches, they’ve let in just one goal, but they haven't been scoring a lot either. In their last 13 matches, Sarmiento only have scored more than a goal in just one. Only one of their last 10 matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Sarmiento are coming from a 0-0 draw with Gimnasia La Plata. That was the second straight game in which they failed to score.

Newell’s Old Boys are coming from a more stable run though they have a loss in their last five matches. A 2-0 win over Godoy Cruz in the last game was their third win in four matches. They will look at this run as the needed motivation to go for three points against Sarmiento. Having scored two or more goals in four of the last five matches should inspire confidence in them. Focusing on the league alone, Newell’s Old Boys will feel there’s a lot to do ahead of this game. They have three wins only in the last 10 league matches. They’ve failed to score in six of their last 10 league matches. However, in three of the last four league games, they’ve scored two goals in each. Two of the visitors’ last 10 league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
