Racing Club vs. Olimpo, Saturday 21:15 (01:15 BST)
An otherwise innocuous fixture in the Primera calendar promises much more for fans of Racing Club, as they expect to see star Colombian duo Giovanni Moreno and Teofilo Gutierrez together in the team's colours for the first time.
The Cafeteros have been two of the revelations of the last year in Argentina, but have never appeared in conjunction for the Avellaneda giants, after Gio missed almost all of the Apertura with a debilitating cruciate ligament injury. Both are now fit and expected to start, however, with coach Diego Simeone shuffling his pack in an attempt to cut a run of two goalless draws against Olimpo.
The Bahia Blanca outfit are no fools, though, and are coming away from an impressive victory against champions Velez Sarsfield which will mean they are not short of confidence. The last time these two met, they played out a thrilling draw in El Cilindro, and with attacking talent to spare a gripping spectacle is promised on Saturday evening.
Prediction: A lot depends on how the Colombians click as a partnership, although fleeting glimpses from the national team suggest it could be a match made in heaven. A full-strength Racing should be able to get past their feisty rivals, with a 2-0 victory looking good.
Saturday's Action
Before Racing and Olimpo kick off in Saturday's night game, there are two more fixtures for Argentine football fans to enjoy. Godoy Cruz have struggled to sustain the form that took them to a historic third-place in the Clausura, but it is early yet and despite losing star Carlos Sanchez, below, to River the Tomba will hope to kick start their season at the expense of All Boys in Mendoza.
Estudiantes meanwhile lie a lowly 19th, and failure to win against relegation battlers Tigre could be the final straw for Miguel Angel Russo after also bombing out of the Copa Sudamericana midweek.
Sunday's Action
New Banfield coach Ricardo La Volpe knows the only way is up for his side, who have started with a miserable five defeats in five to sit rock-bottom. The Taladro will search for their first points against Arsenal de Sarandi, before coach-less Independiente travel to Cordoba for a tricky clash with Belgrano.
Boca Juniors then welcome back talismanic No. 10 Juan Roman Riquelme for the visit of San Martin de San Juan, knowing that they could capture top spot with a victory if Rafaela fail to pick up maximum points tonight. And after two straight defeats champions Velez Sarsfield are desperate to stop the rot, although they should have too much for new arrivals Union in the Fortin of Liniers.
Monday's Action
One of several teams who have established themselves as early title hopefuls, Lanus are in good form and are desperate to go one better than their runners up placing in the Clausura. Gabriel Schurrer's men face a tricky visit to La Paternal, facing an Argentinos Juniors team who are yet to win in this year's campaign.
