Racing Club and Sarmiento Junin meet on Saturday in round 10 of the Liga Profesional Argentina Clausura, with the two sides occupying vastly different positions in the table. Racing sit 15th with five points from nine matches, while Sarmiento Junin are second with 16 points from the same number of outings.
The 11-point gap between the clubs tells much of the story ahead of kick-off. Racing have taken just one point from their last five matches, a run that includes three consecutive defeats. Their record across the Clausura reads one win, two draws and six losses, with eight goals scored and 15 conceded.
Sarmiento Junin arrive in contrasting condition, having gathered 10 points from their last five matches. They have won five, drawn one and lost three of their nine Clausura fixtures, registering 16 goals scored against 13 conceded, and currently sit inside the top two of the 30-team table.
The only previous meeting recorded on the sheet ended goalless — a 0-0 draw on 11 March 2026 — offering little to separate the sides on head-to-head terms alone. Saturday's contest presents Racing with an opportunity to halt their three-match losing run, while Sarmiento Junin carry their place in the top two of the table into a fixture against a side that has taken just one point from their last five matches.
