Barracas Central aim to bounce back vs Argentinos, eyes on Copa Argentina | OneFootball

El Guapo wants to return to victory against a Bicho focused on the final on Wednesday against Independiente Rivadavia.

Barracas Central will host this Saturday, from 16:00, Argentinos Juniors at the Estadio Claudio Fabián Tapia, for the 14th round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional Football League. The match will be refereed by Andrés Merlos, with Diego Ceballos in the VAR, and broadcast by ESPN Premium.

The Guapo is going through a tough time and urgently needs a win to get into the qualifying zone for the round of 16 and the 2026 Copa Sudamericana. The team led by Alejandro Orfila comes from a 3-1 defeat against Boca last Monday and has accumulated six matches without a win, which left them tenth in Zone A with 18 points. However, a victory could propel them to the top of the group, at least temporarily, pending the results of Central Córdoba and Estudiantes.

On the other hand, Argentinos Juniors arrives with divided attention. The Bicho occupies the sixth place in the zone, with the same points as Barracas, and is also fourth in the annual table, just one point behind River, which is currently in the playoff zone for the Copa Libertadores.

However, the great challenge for the team of Pablo Guede will be the final of the Copa Argentina, which they will play next Wednesday, November 5 against Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza, seeking to break a streak.
