RAFAELA, Argentina (Interstat) — A clash of Argentine clubs at opposite ends of the Primera B Metropolitana table is set for Tuesday as struggling CA Argentino de Quilmes de Rafaela hosts playoff-contender Argentino Merlo.

The match at Rafaela’s Estadio Argentino de Quilmes pits two teams with vastly different fortunes this season. The visitors from Merlo sit firmly in the promotion hunt with a record of 18-9-15 in the Prim B Metro. The home side, Argentino de Quilmes, is mired near the bottom with a record of 4-8-7.

Argentino Merlo arrives with momentum, having secured a 3-1 victory over Villa D’Almine in its last outing on Oct. 17. That win was part of a recent run of mixed results, including a 1-0 loss to Flandria and a 1-0 win over Fenix.

In contrast, Argentino de Quilmes is seeking to end a four-match winless streak. Its most recent result was a 1-0 loss to Villa D’Almine on Oct. 11, preceded by draws against Flandria and Deportivo Laferrere, and a loss to Fenix.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.
