Argentinos Juniors travel to Barracas Central looking to stay top of their group, while the hosts try to halt a poor run of form.

Form Guide

• Barracas Central: Struggling. Recent results include a 0-0 draw with Tigre after consecutive league defeats (and a Copa Argentina exit). They have found goals hard to come by and sit mid-to-lower table in the Clausura with around 10 points from 7 games.
• Argentinos Juniors: Strong. Sitting top of Zona B with 16 points from 7 matches (5 wins). Recent form includes a 2-1 home win over Aldosivi and solid results overall under Nicolás Diez.

Head-to-head is relatively even in recent years (mix of draws and narrow wins), but Argentinos currently hold the edge in overall quality and momentum.

Prediction

Barracas Central 0-2 Argentinos Juniors

Argentinos are the clearer favourites thanks to superior form, league position, and consistency. Barracas’ home ground can make them awkward, but the visitors’ quality should prevail in a controlled away performance. Low-scoring game is possible given both sides’ recent trends.
