- Competition: Copa Argentina - Second Round
- Date: Wednesday, 2nd, July 2025
- Kickoff: 22:45 UK / 23:45 CEST
- Venue: Estadio Provincial Juan Gilberto Funes (San Luis)
With progression to the Copa Argentina quarter-finals up for grabs, Racing Club and CA San Martin will lock horns Tuesday evening at Estadio Provincial Juan Gilberto Funes.
Racing Club successfully progressed beyond the first round of the Copa Argentina for the fifth consecutive campaign by routinely seeing off third-tier outfit Santamaria 2-0, will now look to carry that confidence forward in pursuit of a deeper run.
San Martin de San Juan, meanwhile, have once again navigated the opening hurdle of the Copa Argentina for the fourth time in their last five campaigns, this time holding their nerve in a tense penalty shootout by converting all three spot-kicks and keeping a flawless sheet against Club Atletico Gimnasia y Esgrima.
Racing Club vs San Martin de San Juan Betting Tips : BTTS - NO
Even if Racing Club haven’t exactly embraced the Copa Argentina with full commitment in recent seasons, they seem well-positioned to take care of business this Tuesday, thanks to the backing of their fans and a squad capable of delivering a dominant all-round display. The backline of the Avellaneda-based club has displayed remarkable discipline and defensive cohesion, having managed to keep clean sheets in four of their last five official outings, which suggests that relying on their rock-solid rearguard will be a central part of their tactical approach. In contrast, San Martin de San Juan arrives with low morale after being stuck in a disappointing run of form for some time, with their offense standing out as the main culprit and weakest point, as they have registered just one goal in their last nine competitive fixtures, shockingly. Above all, Verinegro have struggled to find the key to unlock Racing Club’s defense since they have been held scoreless in four of their last five home games, and combined with their attacking struggles, it seems unlikely they will seriously challenge the well-organized defensive setup of the Blue-Whites.
