Preview: Patronato vs. Arsenal Sarandi - prediction, team news, lineups

The hosts are also in good form at the moment despite the fact they are in the relegation zone, with the club having the chance to get out of the bottom four with a victory.

Match preview

Patronato currently finds themselves second-bottom of the Argentine Primera Division, but despite that they have been undefeated in their previous three matches in all competitions.

The squad were able to knock out Colon in the Copa Americana, and they followed that up with a dominant victory against Independiente, which helped their case in the league.

They then followed that up with a 2-2 draw against Newell's Old Boys, who are currently fifth in the division, which made this another impressive result for them.

Facundo Sava's men managed to come back from a two-goal deficit in order to earn that point with goals from Sebastian Medina and Raul Lozano being enough for them.

The final goal took place in the 94th minute, which showcases the fact that Patronato are prepared to fight until the final minute, which they will be looking to repeat again this Saturday.

Arsenal Sarandi are only four points above the relegation zone right now, putting plenty of pressure on the squad heading into this game for them to pick up a result.

That is what they have been doing on a consistent basis as of late, with the squad being undefeated in their previous five fixtures in all competitions, showcasing their qualities.

Leonardo Madelon's men picked up four draws in a row until their most recent outing when they stepped it up and secured three points when they defeated Estudiantes.

Cristian Colman had originally given his team the lead with a perfect start in the fourth minute, and despite conceding an equaliser just before the first half ended, Leonel Picco was able to fire them to victory in the second half.

The result was only their fourth victory throughout the entire campaign, which has been their main issue as no team has drawn as many games in the division.

Team News

After another positive result for Patronato, there is a good chance that the exact same lineup is used this weekend in order to continue their momentum.

The hosts will also be boosted by the fact that Leonel Mosevich and Diego Garcia are both available following their suspensions, providing further quality to the squad.

Colman will be leading the line or the visitors this weekend, and he should be joined by Sebastian Lomonaco alongside him to provide an attacking threat.

Meanwhile, at the back it is unlikely any changes are going to be made for the visitors due to their impressive performances as of late.

Patronato possible starting lineup:

Altamirano; Lozano, Guasone, Alvarez, Cobos; Medina, Castro, Leys, Acevedo; Rodriguez, Estigarribia

Arsenal Sarandi possible starting lineup:

Medina; Chimino, Goni, Suaurez, Perez; Pitton, Pico, Miloc, Brochero; Colman, Lomonaco

We say: Patronato 1-2 Arsenal Sarandi

Both of these teams find themselves in the bottom half of the table, and towards the bottom of the league which is why they will be putting plenty of pressure on this particular fixture to get back to winning ways.

Despite the fact Patronato have the home advantage, the visitors have not lost in their previous five outings and that should be enough to push them through with momentum alone.
