Sarmiento, Argentina (Interstat) — A clash of unbeaten reserves will headline Sunday’s Argentine football slate as Sarmiento Reserves host Defensa y Justicia Reserves in Week 3 of the ARG Reserve League.

The match is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 28, 2025, at Sarmiento’s home ground. Both sides enter the fixture looking for a first victory of the campaign after playing to scoreless draws in their most recent outings.

Defensa y Justicia Res (0-0-2) comes off a 0-0 away draw against Boca Juniors Reserves on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025. The stalemate highlighted a defensive resilience the visitors will aim to carry forward.

Sarmiento Res (0-0-2) also earned a point on the road in its last match, a 0-0 draw with Talleres de Córdoba Reserves on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2025. The result demonstrated a similar organized approach.

Despite the identical recent results and projected tight contest, statistical models favor the home side. Interstat’s ELO rating system gives Sarmiento Reserves a 60.10 percent probability to win the match.

However, the same outlet’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, suggesting a closely contested affair where either team could snatch a late winner.

The match provides a platform for emerging talent within two Argentine top-flight clubs. A win for either side would provide crucial early momentum in the extended reserve league season, which serves as a primary development pathway for the country’s next generation of footballers.

Kickoff is set for Sunday afternoon, local time.
