Arsenal vs Colon
Sarandi Arsenal showed a great display of effort last Monday, when they secured a valuable 0-0 away draw at Tigre in an uneventful game. However, the team are struggling to claim victories: El Viaducto are winless in the last nine in the Copa Liga Profesional, having drawn seven and lost two. Therefore, they are sharing the bottom place of the group B table with Lanus and Rosario Central on 11 points.
Colon wasted a big chance of approaching the qualifying zone last time out as they drew 2-2 against Estudiantes’ alternative XI at home, conceding the equaliser in the eight minute of stoppage time. El Sabalero are on eight league matches without a win, with six stalemates and two defeats in that spell. As a result, they accumulated 16 points, trailing fourth-placed Aldosivi by four in group B. Colon earned seven points from 18 on offer on away turf in the Copa Liga Profesional as a product of one win, four draws and one loss. On Thursday 28, the team drew 0-0 vs Olimpia from Paraguay in a Copa Libertadores group game. Star player Luis Rodriguez suffered a serious muscle injury against Estudiantes and will miss several matches.
Colon’s chances of going to the playoffs are quite small as they are 4 points behind with 2 games left, and after their big effort at Paraguay on Thursday I can’t imagine that they will be ready for this game less than 48 hours later.
