Deportivo Riestra 2-1 Sarmiento - Liga Profesional 2024 Statistical Preview

Jonathan Goya is an injury doubt for this one having been forced off in the early stages of the defeat to Godoy Cruz.
Should Goya not be able to play, Jonatan Goitia looks the likely option as a replacement.
Likewise, Antony Alonso could be unfit for this one, with Alexandar Diaz a shout to take his place.

An unchanged side will be no surprise with Sarmiento continuing to extend their unbeaten run under Israel Damonte.
Should there be changes the likes of Elias Lopez and Manuel Monaco would be the players competing for places.

Prediction

Deportivo Riestra have won three of their last five matches but a 4-1 defeat to Godoy Cruz last time out will no doubt have damaged them to some degree.
In spite of that disappointment, Riestra continue to perform above expectation and are safely in mid-table ahead of this one.
Sarmiento have taken real strides in recent weeks with three consecutive 0-0 draws setting the tone for the defensive resilience Israel Damonte prides himself on.
Goals continue to be a problem for Sarmiento however with just seven league goals scored in 11 matches so far.
