Looking to keep their 100% home record going in the Primera Division, Sarmiento welcome a tough opponent Racing Club to Estadio Eva Peron for their Matchday six in the second phase on Sunday night.
Sarmiento have made a mixed up run in the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division, with the side picking up two wins, one draw and two defeats in their opening five matches. They now sit 13th on seven points level on points with nine other sides in the standings.
Six of their seven points came at home, where they beat Argentinos Juniors and Patronato and will now be looking for third consecutive home victory in the Argentinian top-flight on Sunday as they seek to push up the table.
However, they are coming up against Racing Club, who they have fallen to in their last four encounters across all competitions, including one home defeat and three at away.
Racing Club have done well in the second phase of the campaign and sit fifth in the league standings on nine points having won three and lost two of their opening five matches. However, their form has been inconsistent as they have been alternating wins and defeats in the run.
They are currently coming off a 5-0 thumping victory against Aldosivi and will be looking to end their inconsistency on Sunday as they seek to make back-to-back wins in the league. Having won all the last four fixture against their hosts, Racing should be confident of another positive result this weekend.
