Instituto vs Colon
Instituto are starting to find difficulties in the league after a promising start. Last time out, the team played a terrible game and succumbed to a worrying 3-0 away defeat at Barracas Central. Following that result, La Gloria are now on four matches without a win in this competition, having drawn one and lost three. Therefore, they remain on 17 points and see themselves edging closer to the relegation zone in the point-average table (occupying the last safe spot). Instituto won only one of their last five home matches, along with two draws and two losses in that spell. Defensive midfielder Roberto Bochi succumbed to a knee problem and will miss out.
Colon showed a solid performance last time out and managed an important 2-0 home victory over Banfield, with Eric Meza and Cristian Vega finding the back of the net in the first half. After a disappointing start, El Sabalero are now improving: they lost only one of their last 12 matches in league action, winning three and drawing eight in that spell, which allowed them to make it 17 points and climb from 28th to 18th spot in the Liga Profesional rankings. On away turf, Colon secured seven points in as many matches this season as a product of one victory, four draws and two losses. Centre back Paolo Goltz is set to return after succumbing to a muscle problem shortly before the last game.
Iām going to trust this solid Colon not to lose here. They started to win some games, but also they are on an impressive run with only 1 loss in the last 12 games while Instituto has been awful lately.
