Chasing back-to-back wins, Racing visit Sarmiento in Junín | OneFootball

Racing, coming off a win in Tucumán, will visit Sarmiento de Junín at 10 PM at the Eva Perón Stadium in Junín for the 10th round of the Apertura.

Racing will try to extend their good form when they visit Sarmiento de Junín this Tuesday for the tenth round of Zone B in the 2026 Apertura Tournament. The match will be played at 10 PM at the Eva Perón Stadium, with Nazareno Arasa as the referee and ESPN Premium broadcasting. Salomé Di Iorio will be in charge of the VAR.

The team led by Gustavo Costas is experiencing a positive streak that has positioned them among the teams fighting for playoff qualification. The “Academia” has gone five matches without a loss in the championship, a streak that has allowed them to enter the fight within Zone B.

If they secure another victory in Junín, Racing could even climb to fourth place, depending on other results of the day.

Racing on the Rise

In their last outing, the Avellaneda team showed one of their best performances of the tournament by defeating Atlético Tucumán 3-0 as visitors. The goals were scored by Colombian Duván Vergara and Santiago Solari, in a performance that boosted the team's confidence.

This performance fuels Racing's hopes of continuing to add points and securing a spot among the top eight in the zone, the immediate goal at this stage of the tournament.

Sarmiento Aims to Join the Fight

On the other hand, Sarmiento did not have the expected start in the championship. The team led by Facundo Sava is in the twelfth position of Zone B with nine points, although they arrive with some momentum after their last victory.

In the previous round, the Junín team defeated Estudiantes de Río Cuarto and will look to capitalize on their home advantage to keep adding points and move closer to the qualification spots.

Additionally, recent history favors the Verde: the two most recent encounters between the teams, held in 2024, ended with 1-0 victories for Sarmiento.
