Barracas Central vs Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto is available to watch live in the United States via Fanatiz and ViX, both of which carry Liga Profesional fixtures.
Barracas Central host Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto in the Liga Profesional, with Damian Ayude's side looking to build on a recent run of positive results against a visiting team that has struggled badly for form.
Barracas Central sit seventh in the Clausura Group B table, a position that reflects a squad finding some rhythm in recent weeks. Ayude's men have won two of their last five league matches and arrive into this fixture with momentum behind them.
Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto, managed by Ruben Forestello, are in far more difficult territory. The visitors have lost four of their last five Liga Profesional matches and sit 14th in the Clausura Group B standings, a position that underlines the scale of their problems this campaign.
Forestello's side have conceded regularly and struggled to string results together, making this trip to face a home side in better shape a daunting prospect. Points are badly needed for Estudiantes, but the task in front of them is a steep one.
Barracas Central have won the most recent head-to-head meeting between these sides, and home advantage adds another layer of comfort for Ayude's team. Estudiantes will need to find something they have rarely shown in recent weeks if they are to take anything from this fixture.
