Team News

Sarmiento
Instituto
  • Fernando Monetti is Sarmiento's number one following Jose Devecchi's move to Atletico Tucuman and will no doubt be key to their success this campaign.
  • Lisandro Lopez continues to captain the side and lead the line, turning 42 years old this season.
  • Djorkaeff Reasco was billed as a young prospect to watch, but he hasn't featured for Instituto and has been loaned out as the club looks at different attacking options.
  • The experience of the likes of Miguel Brizuela and Jonathan Bay will set the defensive base for Instituto to build on.

Prediction

  • Sarmiento continue to languish towards the bottom of the relegation average table in Argentina's complicated domestic setup and will need to perform above average to steer clear of danger.
  • A 26th place finish out of 28 overall in the Copa de la Liga will have been a concern, particularly with Lisandro Lopez's two goals seeing him as the standout top scorer for Sarmiento.
  • Instituto's seventh placed finish in Group A of the Copa de la Liga was a relatively successful one but a run of six straight defeats in all competitions to end the campaign will have been a cause for concern.
  • Five assists and an average of 1.8 key passes per 90 minutes for Gaston Lodico from the heart of midfield made him the key figure in the Copa season and Instituto will hope he can post similar numbers in the second half of the season.
