In an intriguing clash in Group A of the Copa de La Liga Profesional, Argentinos Juniors host Independiente Rivadavia with both sides vying to shake off their respective defeats.
Argentinos Juniors lost to Talleres Cordoba with the latter scoring two late goals after Leonardo Hardio's first-half spot kick. Despite their defeat, the home side has eight points from five games and would want to get back to winning ways against Independiente.
The visitors are on a streak of back-to-back defeats as they failed to register themselves on the scoresheet in both of their losses. Independiente can turn the tide in their favour and leapfrog the home side if they can garner all three points on Tuesday.
