Ituzaingo desperately need points on Saturday, Aug 15 at 10:00 PM in the Primera B Metropolitana. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Argentino de Merlo come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Ituzaingo travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Argentino de Merlo and Ituzaingo have split their 8 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Ituzaingo won 0–1.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Argentino de Merlo clear favorites, but Ituzaingo have shown they can grind out results. Expect Argentino de Merlo to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
