**Barracas needs a spark, and Rivadavia's looking to keep rolling** — two mid-table sides clash at the Chiqui Tapia with totally opposite vibes. 🔴

Barracas are stuck in neutral with three straight draws and losses eating their record, while Rivadavia just hammered Racing and came off a wild 4-3 win over Aldosivi. The visitors have momentum; the hosts desperately need it.

Key storylines:

- **Barracas Central** are patchy in attack without key personnel — N. Orsini, R. Barrios, and M. Duarte are all out, leaving **F. Bruera** and **N. Briasco** to carry the load.
- **Independiente Rivadavia** are the sharper side right now, balancing grit with offensive punch — **M. Salas** and **A. Riep** should test a leaky Barracas defense.
- The head-to-head is completely split (1-1-2 in the last four), so there's no clear edge in this fixture.

Expected lineups:

- **Barracas Central**: M. A. Miño, K. Jappert, N. Demartini, Y. Rak, R. Insúa, J. Candia, T. Porra, I. Tapia, D. Miloc, F. Bruera, N. Briasco
- **Independiente Rivadavia**: N. Bolcato, J. M. Elordi, L. Costa, I. Villalba, A. Osella, M. Fernández, J. Florentín, T. Bottari, A. Riep, A. Arce, M. Salas

Prediction:

**Independiente Rivadavia 2–1 Barracas Central**. Rivadavia's form and firepower edge out a sluggish home side.
