Team Reviews
Racing Club
Racing Club, nicknamed La Academia and coached by Gustavo Costas, is 6th in the Argentine Primera División with 28 points from 18 matches (8 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses), per FcTables.com. They advanced to the Copa Argentina Round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Santamarina de Tandil on March 27, 2025, with goals from Facundo Mura and Maximiliano Salas. Their form shows 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five competitive matches, averaging 1.7 goals scored and 0.8 goals conceded per game. Key players include Adrián Martínez (4 goals in 2024), Gabriel Arias (7 clean sheets), and Bruno Zuculini, who scored a brace in a 4-1 friendly win over Olimpia Asunción after a muscle injury. Racing’s strengths are their attacking consistency (100% win rate when scoring first in 2025) and home form, but injuries to Gastón Martirena (Achilles tendinopathy), Matías Zaracho (thigh), and Agustín García Basso (thigh) are concerns, per @RacingClub. They aim to reach the quarter-finals, where Deportivo Riestra awaits, and secure a 2026 Copa Libertadores spot.
San Martín de San Juan
San Martín de San Juan, known as Verdinegro and coached by Leandro Romagnoli, is last in the Primera Nacional with 14 points from 18 matches (3 wins, 5 draws, 10 losses). They reached the Round of 16 via a 3-0 penalty shootout win over Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy (0-0 draw) on March 27, 2025, per www.copaargentina.org. Their form includes 1 win and 4 losses in their last five, averaging 0.5 goals scored and 1.4 goals conceded. Key players include Franco Toloza, Nicolás Watson, and Santiago Valle (on loan from Independiente), with Tomás Lecanda and Marco Iacobellis available despite recent red cards. San Martín’s strengths are their penalty shootout composure, but their attack is woeful (5 goals in 18 league games), and they’ve lost both pre-season friendlies to Belgrano, per TyC Sports. They face an uphill battle to upset Racing and spark their season.
Head-to-Head
Racing Club and San Martín have met 26 times, with Racing leading 16-6-4, per fussballzz.de. Racing won 1-0 in the 2014 Copa Argentina Round of 16 at Estadio Juan Gilberto Funes and 4-1 on penalties in 2021 (2-2 draw) at the same venue, with Marcos Acuña scoring in 2014, per @Copa_Argentina. San Martín’s last win was 2-1 in the 2008 Primera División Clausura. Recent matches show a low-scoring trend, with 4 of their last 5 under 2.5 goals and San Martín scoreless in 4, per Sports Mole. Matches average 2.0 goals, with 20% both teams scoring (BTTS). Racing’s 11-game unbeaten run against San Martín gives them a clear edge.
Prediction: Racing Club 2-0 San Martín de San Juan
Racing is likely to score through Martínez or Zuculini, with Arias securing a clean sheet. Racing’s superior quality and H2H dominance should secure a comfortable win, advancing them to face Riestra, while San Martín’s attacking woes persist.
