Belgrano host Independiente Rivadavia in the Liga Profesional, with both clubs occupying fourth place in Clausura Group B and looking to separate themselves from the pack.
Ricardo Zielinski's Belgrano come into this match on the back of a 2-0 win at Banfield, a result that snapped a brief dip in form after back-to-back dropped points against Argentinos Juniors and Tigre. That victory will have lifted spirits at the club ahead of a fixture that carries genuine table significance.
Independiente Rivadavia arrive with their own momentum. Alfredo Berti's side sit top of Apertura Group B and drew 0-0 with Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores midweek, a result that underlines their ability to compete at a higher level. Their Liga Profesional campaign has been steady, if not spectacular.
The two clubs have met regularly in recent seasons, and Rivadavia have the stronger recent record in this fixture. Belgrano will need to impose themselves at home if they are to change that narrative.
Both sides are level on position in the Clausura standings, meaning every point from here carries weight. A win for either club could open up a gap on their rivals in the group.
