Patronato began their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Velez Sarsfield before losing 2-0 to Gimnasia in their first away fixture. Patronato recorded their first win against Aldosivi on matchday 3 courtesy of Facundo Cobos’ lone strike. And then lost to Sarmiento in their most recent outing. At Estadio Eva Perón, Sarmiento netted three times through Franco Quinteros, Raul Lozano (OG) and Javier Toledo. Patronato managed to pull one back through Diego Garcia.
Independiente, on the other hand, have won two of their opening four league games so far. In their last outing against Atletico Tucuman, which was a cup fixture, Juan Cazares’ lone strike in the 78th minute was enough to take Independiente through to the next round. Prior to that, the Red Devils got the better of Estudiantes courtesy of two second half goals by Leandro Benegas and Leandro Miguel Fernandez. They have scored in each of their last five matches in all competitions and will be aiming to continue their good form in front of goal on Sunday.
Patronato will be missing Leonel Mosevich and Diego Garcia due to suspension.
