Barracas have conceded 0.9 goals a game, the 7th fewest in the league. Racing's games have produced goals at both ends, with both teams scoring in 61% of them, the 3rd highest rate in the division. Barracas have the sturdier defence, and our model leans narrowly towards the hosts.
Barracas are unbeaten in their last five, with three wins and two draws. They won 3-2 at Atlético Tucumán, beat Huracán 2-0 at home, drew 1-1 at Sarmiento, beat Estudiantes de RÃo Cuarto 2-1 and then drew 2-2 at Belgrano on 1 November. They have lost just two of their last ten.
The hosts keep clean sheets in 32% of their games, the 12th highest rate, and they concede less than most. Going forward it is modest: 0.97 goals a game, the 10th fewest, and the fewest corners in the league at 3.55 a game. They do foul, though, averaging 12.26 a game, the 9th most. Only 32% of their games have gone over 2.5 goals, the 7th lowest rate in the league.
Racing's last five are mixed: two wins, a draw and two defeats. They beat Aldosivi 2-1 on 31 October after a 1-0 defeat at River Plate, a 1-1 draw with Independiente and a 2-0 home loss to Belgrano, and they won 2-1 away at Estudiantes de RÃo Cuarto before that.
Defensively they are leakier, with 1.18 goals against a game, and clean sheets in only 24% of matches, the 6th lowest rate. They average 13.21 fouls, the 3rd most, and 3.36 cards a game, the most in the league.
