A first win after seven games without victory for Racing Club will come as a huge relief as a consistent string of poor performances were no longer hidden by results. They will hope this is the turn in form they needed. Despite a run of seven games without a victory, Racing only conceded six goals in that time with three clean sheets, which speaks to their ability to remain defensively disciplined to pick up draws when performances upfield are lacking in quality. Similarly to Racing, Platense picked up a win last time out after a five-game run without one, but it was against an improving Union, which will give them confidence heading into this one. Flipping that run on its head, just one defeat in seven games highlights Platense's defensive stability and the parallels with Racing in recent times are clear for all to see. 0:0
