Racing vs Colon
Racing Club have been displaced from the playoff spots in group A following a heartbreaking 2-1 away defeat at bottom-placed Sarandi Arsenal last Sunday. Having claimed a single victory across their last four matches in the Copa Liga Profesional (along with one draw and two losses), La Academia remain on 15 points, trailing San Lorenzo (who occupy fourth place) by goals scored. At home, Juan Antonio Pizzi’s men registered three victories, one draw and a single defeat in this competition.
Colon remain as group A leaders following their 2-2 home draw against Godoy Cruz last Sunday, accumulating 21 points and holding a three-point gap over River Plate. However, the team are experiencing a slight slump as they have been winless in the last three league games (two stalemates and one loss). On away turf, they collected 12 of those points, having won four and lost one so far.
Racing is a big mess, there are rumors everywhere that their coach will be fired soon, they couldn’t even beat a poor uruguayan side in Copa Libertadores on Wednesday and now they have to face the leader Colon who will try to secure a playoffs place, so I expect the visitors not to lose here.Â
