Overview
- After a stoppage-time penalty by Federico Gino gave Aldosivi a win over Banfield and San Martín drew 1-1 with Lanús, Godoy Cruz sits last in the annual table on 28 points, Aldosivi has 30, and San Martín is level with the Tomba on 28 while bottom of the averages at 0.903.
- Two teams will be relegated this season, one by the averages table and one by the annual table, and if a club finishes last in both tables it falls by averages while the other drop shifts to the next-worst in the annual standings.
- Godoy Cruz must defeat Deportivo Riestra; if Aldosivi draws, a playoff with the Tomba follows, if San Martín wins and the Tomba wins there will be a playoff between the cuyanos, and if Aldosivi wins or the Tomba fails to win then Godoy Cruz goes down.
- Aldosivi is the only side that controls its fate heading into Aldosivi–San Martín in Mar del Plata, while Godoy Cruz hosts Deportivo Riestra at the Feliciano Gambarte in Mendoza.
- Form trends sharpen the stakes as Godoy Cruz has just one win in its last 15 league games, San Martín is unbeaten in six, and Aldosivi has four victories in its past five.
