The 2-0 away defeat to Boca Juniors will not have sat easily with the Sarmiento squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 22%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Boca Juniors, who had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

When it comes to attacking power Israel Damonte will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 5 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have recorded 10 clean sheets from the 22 games played so far this season.  

They have been performing well at The Estadio Eva Perón recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.

Talleres had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Godoy Cruz.  They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Godoy Cruz's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 9 of their 10 away games this season.  

Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.  

Nahuel Bustos is the man of the moment at Talleres right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
