On Sunday night, Arsenal and Platense clash at the Estadio Julio Humberto Grondona in the Argentinian top flight.
Arsenal form guideThe home team have struggled for any form this season, as the side from Buenos Aires currently sits rock-bottom of the Primera Division table. A 1-0 defeat at Talleres Cordoba last time out means that Arsenal have lost five of their previous seven matches in the Argentinian top flight.
Arsenal’s recent Primera Division have been relatively lacking in goals, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored goals in five of their last six league matches.
Despite the home team's position in the league, Arsenal has a decent league record on home soil, as they have won four of their last six Primera Division on home soil.
They have been relatively prolific on home soil in the Argentinian top flight, as Lanus have scored at least two goals in four of their last six home games.
Platense form guideThe visitor's recent league form has been inconsistent, although they have won just three of their last ten matches in the Argentinian top flight. Their mixed form has left Platense in 14th place in the table
Last time out, they recorded a 1-0 home win over Tigre. The game was another low-scoring encounter for Platense, as their previous three league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Platense has a woeful recent away record in the Argentinian top flight as they head into this clash on the back of a five-game losing streak on their travels in the Primera Division.
The main problem on their travels in the league has been scoring goals, as they have scored just once in their previous five away matches in the Primera Division.
What am I backing?Lanus have a decent home record, while Platense is poor on their travels. However, the home side has been in unconvincing overall form, so I can’t back the home win. The bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
