Leandro N. Alem face Mercedes on Saturday, Sep 19 at 10:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Primera C, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Leandro N. Alem come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5). Mercedes, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Leandro N. Alem and Mercedes have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (2W–0D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Mercedes won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Leandro N. Alem a slight edge, but Mercedes are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
