Colon vs Racing Club
Colon continue to improve under recently-appointed coach Marcelo Saralegui. On Saturday, the team showed an interesting version to beat Platense 2-1 away defeat thanks to a strike from Ramon Abila in the 89th minute. It’s a poor campaign for them, but El Sabalero are on three wins in a row since the new man in charge’s arrival, which means they accumulated 28 points in 24 rounds. Colon beat Patronato 1-0 in their last home match after three without a win at their own stadium (one draw and two defeats). Star player Luis Rodriguez is set to return after missing out at Platense due to personal issues.
Racing Club are still alive in the fight for the title. Last time out, the team showed a great display of football to beat Atletico Tucuman (who were league leaders before round 24) 2-0 at home. As a result, La Academia are now on six league games unbeaten, having won five and drawn one, which places them on 44 points in the Liga Profesional, four behind table toppers Boca Juniors. Furthermore, Fernando Gago’s men secured their ticket to the 2023 Copa Libertadores.
Colon with Luis Rodriguez back is a much more better attacking team, Racing has been scoring freely lately and they are in a must win situation so I have to expect goals here.
