After four draws in a row for Arsenal Sarandi, the squad will be hoping they can take their performance to the next level in order to secure a victory on Monday when they welcome Estudiantes.
The visitors have been enjoying a stronger season overall, but they have failed to win their previous three matches, adding pressure to their own performances as well.
Match preview
Arsenal Sarandi are currently 20th in the Argentine Primera Division, and with just three points between them and the relegation zone there is plenty of pressure on this fixture.
The visitors are looking to get back to winning ways after five games without one, although their previous four outings have all resulted in draws, which is more positive.
Their most recent performance resulted in a 1-1 finish between them and Argentinos Juniors as they fought from behind after conceding in the third minute as Cristian Colman scored the equaliser.
Arsenal Sarandi have won just three matches throughout the entire campaign so far, which is something that has caused them plenty of problems to his point.
Despite that, the recent improved performances that have created consistent draws is a situation that will have instilled plenty of confidence that could head into this match.
The visitors are having a contrasting season right now, with the club currently fifth in the league, having only lost four games to this point in time.
Estudiantes are heading into this match on the back of two consecutive defeats in the Argentine Primera Division which has seen them drop further down the table.
That was followed up by a draw in their most recent match which took place in Libertadores as a goal from Leandro Diaz brought them back into the game for a 1-1 finish.
Even though their recent form has not been the strongest, Estudiantes will still have the belief that they can secure a positive result in this picture.
Offensively they have been strong so far, heading into this one as the second highest-scoring team in the division, which is sure to pose a threat.

Team News
After finding the back of the net in their most recent outing, Colman should retain his place in the Arsenal Sarandi team up front, where he will likely be partnered by Sebastian Lomonaco, who has scored just once this season.
At the back, it is unlikely any changes will be made to the defensive lineup that has been proving to be effective as of late, and should provide a stern test.
Bruno Valdez will be an option for the visitors this time around after he sat out of the recent cup game due to suspension, which will not be a problem in the league game.
Diaz will likely make his way back into the starting lineup as well after being used as a substitute in their recent match as he came on and impressed with a goal.
Arsenal Sarandi possible starting lineup:
Medina; Chimino, Goni, Suarez, Perez; Antilef, Miloc, Pitton, Navas; Colman, Lomonaco
Estudiantes possible starting lineup:
Andujar; Godoy, Rogel, Noguera, Mas; Rodriguez; Castro, Zuqui, Pellegrini; Diaz, Boselli
We say: Arsenal Sarandi 1-2 Estudiantes
Estudiantes may have been in poor form over their previous three matches, but they have been able to prove themselves over the course of the season, which is why they should be the favourites to get back to winning ways here.
