SANTA FE, Argentina (Interstat) — Two teams looking to halt slides in the second half of the Argentinian Liga A season will meet Sunday when San Martin visits Sante Fe at Angel P. Malvicino.

San Martin (14-17) enters with modest momentum, coming off a 78-67 home victory over Olimpico on April 12. The visiting side has won two of its last three, though its form has been inconsistent. Sante Fe (10-21) is mired in a more pronounced slump, having lost seven consecutive games. Its most recent result was an 81-74 home loss to Ferro Carril Oeste on April 15.

The matchup features two dynamic guards in strong individual form. San Martin will rely on Victor Fernandez, who is averaging 16.6 points over his last five games. He scored 21 points in 25 minutes in the win over Olimpico. For Sante Fe, point guard Martin Cabrera has been a bright spot during the losing streak, posting a double-double of 17 points and 10 assists in the last outing.

San Martin’s recent success has been fueled by balance. In the win over Olimpico, center Daniel Lima added 14 points and seven rebounds, while guard Franco Mendez contributed nine rebounds. Sante Fe’s interior defense, anchored by Chris Vogt (11 rebounds, four blocks vs. Ferro Carril Oeste) and Theo Akwuba, will be tested.

Despite their record, Sante Fe has been competitive, with four of their seven straight losses coming by six points or fewer. They will seek to leverage home court advantage to snap the skid. San Martin, with a clearer path to potential playoff positioning, aims to build a winning streak and improve its standing.

The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. local tip-off on Sunday, April 19.
