Sarmiento’s campaign has been one of the weakest in Group B so far. Although the season is still in its early stages, signs of struggle are evident. To breathe new life into their campaign, securing their first victory is essential, which will require them to adopt a more offensive approach, even away from home. This strategic shift could be crucial to catching San Martín SJ off guard.
