Racing and Patronato will meet in the next match of the 19th round of the Argentine championship. Which of the neighbors in the standings will be stronger?
"Racing"
In the last round, Racing was left without points, losing 0-1 to Estudiantes. Racing had much more possession of the ball, but too rarely threatened the opponent's goal, striking only seven shots, and none of them was accurate. This misfire led to the fact that Racing dropped to eighth place and fell behind the leading Atletico Tucuman by six points. In the last four rounds, there has been a decline in the Racing game, due to which only one victory was won.
"Patronato"
But Patronato got a reason for joy in the last round, beating Atletico Platense (1-0) on their own field. Thanks to this victoria, Patronato rose to the ninth position and returned to the fight for the first line. Before the victory over Atletico Platense, Patronato had not won for four rounds, in three of which they scored a point. Due to the large number of goals conceded Patronato began to pay more attention to defense, thanks to which he played to zero in the two extreme rounds.
Statistics and figures:
- Racing lost in one of the previous three games;
- Patronato won in one of the last five rounds;
- Racing has not lost to Patronato yet - 6 wins and a draw.
Forecast
Patronato is a convenient opponent for Racing, from which he almost always wins. I don't think that the positive series of the hosts will be interrupted in the upcoming meeting.
