15/09/2023 15:26hs.

In the last Professional League, River won the title three dates in advance, reaped great numbers that justified the Olympic return and the only small negative mark was the work of Arsenal for his triumph at the Monumental. The fact of being the only team that could defeat Demichelis’ team in Núñez It is a source of pride for a team that is fighting to avoid relegation and at the same time fuels the hope of being able to repeat the feat this Sunday. However, That 2-1 also marked the beginning of a negative streak that Núñez knows and suffers from.

From that unforgettable February 26 to date, statistics provide a very particular piece of information: Those from the Viaducto did not win again as a visitor. Yes, after taking the three points from the former Liberti, the celebrations ended every time he had to leave Sarandí: In total he played 12 games, of which he lost nine and drew three.

The adverse streak began with a subsequent 1-1 in La Paternal against Argentinos and then there were eight consecutive losses as a visitor: Central Córdoba, Lanús, Sarmiento, Huracán, Newell’s, Atlético Tucumán, Talleres and Vélez. Then, they achieved two goalless draws against Banfield and Barracas Central and At the start of the League Cup they lost 2-1 against Guapo at the Chiqui Tapia.

Although in this case Demichelis’ team will seek to take advantage of the delicate situation that Arsenal is going through and thus be able to extend the historic streak of victories at the Monumental to 17, River has already accumulated six without winning as a visitora mark that he will try to erase on two dates against Banfield taking into account that later It will be the superclásico against Boca in La Bombonera.
