Argentinos Juniors travel to face Platense this Sunday, October 11th, in a key match of the 12th round of the Liga Profesional Clausura. The game will be played at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López, kicking off at 17:00 local time.
Pablo Guede's side arrives after an important 2-1 home win over Tigre last week. Goals from Kevin Gutiérrez and Gastón Verón ended a run of five matches without a victory. Still, their form over the last five outings shows zero wins, two draws, and three defeats.
For the clash against El Calamar, Guede could stick with the 4-1-2-1-2 formation that proved successful. The starting lineup against Tigre featured Gastón Siri in goal, with a back four of Franco Paredes, Miguel Mendoza, Federico Álvarez, and Sebastián Prieto. Kevin Gutiérrez anchored the midfield as the sole pivot, flanked by Hernán López and Matías Giménez, with Nicolás Oroz in the playmaking role. The strike partnership was completed by Gastón Verón and Tomás Molina.
Platense, meanwhile, comes from a 2-2 away draw against Vélez Sarsfield. Their form has been patchy, with a Copa Libertadores win sandwiched between mixed results in the domestic league.
The trip to Vicente López is a chance for Argentinos Juniors to secure back-to-back league wins for the first time this Clausura.
