Sarmiento, Unión's next rivals: key stats on Clausura's top scorers | OneFootball

Sarmiento’s victory over Estudiantes de La Plata meant much more than just three points: for the Verde, it marked the first time they had won four consecutive matches in the top flight of Argentine football.

It is worth remembering that the team coached by Facundo Sava was coming off victories at the Eva Perón over Independiente Rivadavia of Mendoza, against Atlético in Tucumán, and over Huracán in Junín.

On the one hand, Sarmiento is very close to achieving its first objective: securing its place in the First Division. In the overall table, they have 31 points and hold a 21-point advantage over Aldosivi and Estudiantes (RC). In other words, that is a seven-match gap with ten games still left to play. Put simply, it feels like, whether through their own merits or the sporting misfortune of others, the Verde will be playing in the 2027 Professional League.

But on the other hand, they are second in Group B (one point behind leaders Argentinos Juniors) and very close to the Copa Sudamericana qualification zone (they have 31 points and are three behind Independiente).

In addition, they are the highest-scoring team in the tournament, having averaged two goals per match over the six rounds played so far. Much of this is due to the contribution of Paraguayan forward Junior Marabel, who with four goals is the competition’s second-leading scorer behind Agustín Módica.

What’s next for Sarmiento

On Matchday 7, Sarmiento will visit Unión. The match will be played on Friday, starting at 7 p.m.
