Racing Club vs Aldosivi
Racing Club secured the first place in the group A table last Friday, when they managed a 1-1 away draw at San Lorenzo in a hard-fought game. La Academia remain as the only unbeaten team in the Copa Liga Profesional and have accumulated 30 points in 14 matches in the group stage. In fact, Fernando Gago’s men are on 15 league games without defeat (nine victories and six draws). At home, Racing are on nine games unbeaten in domestic action, having won six and drawn three since losing to Colon 2-1 in November.
Aldosivi showed another worrying performance last Saturday, when they succumbed to a 2-1 home defeat against Sarandi Arsenal. It was their fourth consecutive match without a win in the Copa Liga Profesional, drawing one and losing three since beating Rosario Central 1-0 at home in round ten. Despite this negative streak, the team had enough to stay in fourth spot of the group B table on 20 points thanks to Huracan’s loss at Independiente. On away turf, El Tiburon managed ten points from 21 available in this competition as a product of three victories, one draw and three defeats.
Perfect spot for Racing in this Quarterfinal match, they are rested after securing this playoff spot a week in advance, and will play at home against this Aldosivi that are far from the best version they showed weeks ago.
