Argentine Apertura - Round 5 Fixtures

Boca Juniors possess the only 100% record in the Apertura as the teams approach the fifth fixture of the season. They face Diego Simeone’s Estudiantes on Sunday who lie in third position after last week’s surprise defeat at the hands of Belgrano.

River travel to an unbeaten Arsenal side while Central host 2nd placed Independiente. Newell’s Old Boys will be hoping to get back to both winning and scoring ways while Godoy Cruz’s fans will surely have the best chance of seeing their club break their scoring duck when they visit bottom club Colon. San Lorenzo will go in search of revenge after last week’s 7-1 mauling against Banfield and Racing, who will want to prolong their perfect home record, welcome Lanus.
