Racing Club and San Martin square off in a Copa Argentina round of 32 clash, with a place in the last 16 up for grabs.

La Academia have been in good form in recent weeks and are looking almost unstoppable at the moment. They should have too much for their rivals, who have struggled to find their best form lately.

Racing Club Form


Racing Club are in the round of 32 of the Copa America after claiming a 2-0 victory over Ramon Santamarina in their previous fixture. Goals in each half from Facundo Mura and Maximiliano Salas were enough to earn them the win. 

It has been mostly smooth sailing for Racing Club in the build-up to this clash having gone unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. La Academia have picked up eight wins in that run, including a 1-0 home victory over Fortaleza in a CONMEBOL Libertadores clash.

Racing Club often make fast starts and have scored the first goal in the first half in two of their last three matches. Gustavo Costas' team have also won the first half in two of their last three matches and have kept clean sheets in four of their last six matches across all competitions.

San Martin SJ Form


San Martin needed penalties before getting past lower league side Gimnasia de Jujuy in the previous round. Both teams battled to a 0-0 draw after regulation time, with the topflight side claiming the upper hand in the shootout.

The build-up to the round of 16 clash has been underwhelming for San Martin, who are winless in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. Leandro Romagnoli’s team have been beaten seven times in that run, including a 3-0 Liga Professional Argentina home defeat to Aldosivi in their last outing.
 
One of the major problems that have plagued San Martin in recent weeks is a lack of cutting edge in attack. They have failed to score in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions.

Head to Head


Racing Club often claim the upper hand against San Martin and are unbeaten in the last 12 matches, picking up seven wins in that run. However, the last meeting between both teams was a 2-2 Copa Argentina draw back in 2021. 

Verdict

San Martin have been out of sorts lately, losing seven of their last nine matches and should find things difficult in this fixture. Racing Club have won eight of their last 10 matches and having scored the first goals in the first half in two of their last three matches, a repeat is expected.

Racing Club have won the first half in two of their last three matches and should play out a similar pattern here. They have also won to nil in four of their last six matches and should see out a similar result against San Martin, who have failed to score in eight of their last nine fixtures.
