⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers have Argentinos Juniors as favourites here, and their Apertura form backs that up. But Sarmiento are at home and will want to start the Clausura on the right foot. What's worth paying attention to: in 6 of their last 7 league matches, Sarmiento's games have produced at least two goals. The same goes for Argentinos Juniors - six of their previous seven away matches hit that same mark. Given all that, total goals over 1.5 looks like the right call. We're going with 1-1.
