Friday's Copa de la Liga Profesional action sees third-placedRacing Club going up against 11th-placedClub Atletico Platense in Group B at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López.
The visitors will enter this contest off the back of a narrow 1-0 victory over Independiente over the weekend, which propelled them back into the top four, currently occupying third place with 13 points after seven rounds.
They will look to make it back-to-back wins with another positive result here.
If Racing Club are heading upwards, Platense are going in the other direction and they don't come into this game in good spirits.
The hosts had made a good start to the season and that’s why they still remain four points above the foot of the table, but their recent dismal record, including a four-game undefeated run, would suggest they are not going to mount a playoff push.
