Platense host Argentinos JRS in the Liga Profesional Argentina. Argentinos have been picking up wins fairly regularly this season, while Platense have had a much rockier time of it.
The recent head-to-head record leans towards the visitors, including a win the last time these two sides played. That sets an interesting backdrop for what should be a proper test for Platense on home soil.

Platense's numbers tell a very different story. Just four wins from 20, with eight losses and eight draws, and they've shipped 25 goals along the way. It's been a tough patch, especially on home turf.
Argentinos arrive with clearly stronger underlying numbers.

A discipline note worth flagging
There isn't much fresh team news to go on here, but Argentinos' disciplinary record stands out. F. Álvarez has picked up nine yellow cards in 28 appearances this season, and S. Prieto has one red and six yellows in 26 games.
Nothing here points to a suspension for this specific fixture, just a sign that Argentinos have had a fair few nervy defensive moments along the way.

How the game might unfold
Platense's home form has been shaky all year, with more losses than wins and goals leaking at the other end. Argentinos, by contrast, have travelled well and scored freely, so there's a clear form mismatch heading into this one.
Even so, the head-to-head record shows these games aren't always straightforward, and a struggling home side can still make life awkward for a confident visitor over ninety minutes.

There's a clear gap between these two sides on paper, with Argentinos in far better form and much higher up the table. Without any market to weigh up though, we're not going to force a pick just for the sake of it.
Given how the head-to-head has played out over the years, and the general unpredictability of a home side trying to arrest a slump, this is one we'll watch rather than back.
